I looked at out Day Trip route for 8/10/25, and sure as ****, I have us going right through there, (both Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor), from our AirBnB in Marquette! Never been in that area, hence the route through there, and NOW, I'm looking forward to it even MORE!! Thanks for the thread @Uncle Larry !!
You're welcome ... Enjoy the ride ";>)

If you have the time consider a ride on H-58 which will take you along Lake Superior and tha Pictured Rocks with some fabulous views ... Check for road conditions

Bayview is a nice quiet place to spend a night and the Apostle Islands are cool place to check out.
