Did you know The Porcupine Mountains, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, are one of the largest wilderness areas in the Midwest of the United States. Known as the “Porkies,” this region features dense forests, rugged cliffs, waterfalls, and scenic views along Lake Superior. The area is protected as Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, offering extensive hiking trails, opportunities for camping, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation year-round. It is especially popular in autumn for its vibrant fall colors and in winter for snow-based activities.
