While in the UP visit the USS Silversides Museum. You can tour the original. I served on the USS Silversides SSN-679. It is now decommissioned. They have the diving planes station from my Boat at the Museum. Was not my job. I was a Reactor Reactor. Ken Carnley, Plankowner (was on the crew when it was commissioned) USS Silversides SSN-679.
Pretty sure the Silversides is in Muskegon, west side of the Mitten, not the UP. In addition to the other MI UP suggestions, I would add a stop to the Lumberjack Inn in Big Bay. It is the site of the actual event that spawned the classic 1959 movie "Anatomy of a Murder." Get a burger and ask to see their scrapbook. Also check out the Pine Mountain Ski Jump near Iron Mountain.
