Marley's Bar & Grill in Manistique

Manistique is a UP town on Lake Michigan where we squeezed in a visit to Marley's Bar and Grill. Famous for their onion rings, homemade sandwiches and soups, they also boil their hamburgers! We confirm that the vittles, which are served in pie pans, are delicious. This is a unique place that is well over 100 years old and open seven days a week.

Manistique's Red Lighthouse and Pier

The Manistique River empties into Lake Michigan here in the UP. Long ago, the logging industry would use the river for transporting all the cut trees. The lighthouse dates back to 1916, which means it's approaching its centennial anniversary! If the weather is nice, like it was on this morning, you can hike out the pier to this majestic light and watch the seagulls hovering overhead. Pretty awesome.
