Lake Gogebic is the Upper Peninsula’s largest inland lake at 18 miles long and 3 miles wide. The name, derived from Native American, means “Where Trout Rising to the Surface Make Rings on Still Waters.” Covering over 13,000 acres, it lies within two counties and two different time zones. The Lake Gogebic loop is one of the area’s popular color routes in the fall. You can start this tour from either end of the lake. As you drive around the lake, take the time to stop in at one of the restaurants for lunch or dinner. There are several parks along the lakeshore where you can stop and take photos, but I think the best publicly accessible viewing spot is the State Public Access Boat Ramp. The driving distance around the lake is a little over 38 miles. Take your time and enjoy this beautiful area!

Clues…

Locate the Lake Gogebic Public Access site along East Shore Road. Due East from the square boulder across the parking area you will find several rocks just inside the tree line. One sits up against the side of an oak tree. Two smaller rocks protect the box. Please search discreetly and be sure the box is secured and concealed when you leave.
