Upper Peninsula Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
The Upper Peninsula (known throughout Michigan and in surrounding areas as "the U.P.", or sometimes "the Yoop") is a region of Michigan. It is not connected (except by a bridge) to the rest of the state, but is connected at its southwestern end to Wisconsin. Therefore, in general the Upper Peninsula is located much closer to Ontario, Canada and the neighboring state of Wisconsin than to the Lower Peninsula, separated by a small channel connecting Lakes Michigan and Huron. This gives the region a distinct style and heritage of its own. As a result, it shares much more in common with its neighbors in Wisconsin and Canada than to the Southern Peninsula of Michigan.
