From Ironwood to Sault Ste. Marine and from Copper Harbor to Menominee this Peninsula has been shaped and carved out of the Canadian Shield of Granite Rock formations and Boreal forests of Spruce, White Birch, Cedar and many species of hardwood. In addition to the Trout and Salmon of the Rivers and Streams the forests are home to Moose, Black Bear, White Tailed Deer, Timber Wolf, Bobcat, Porcupine, Loons, Eagles, and several other species of birds and mammals. Much of the central part of the UP is up to 600 feet higher in elevation than the surrounding great lakes of Superior, Michigan, and Huron and thus streams and rivers carry the snow and moisture run-offs as tributaries to them.

It is impossible to mention all of the rivers and streams and small lakes but you might of already heard of the Two-Hearted of Ernest Hemingway fame, St. Mary's River and the Atlantic Salmon, the Rock River, Laughing Whitefish, Chocolay, Carp, Little Garlic, Iron, Salmon Trout, Huron, Slate, and Black Rivers. they are all excellent places to fish and enjoy a day in the wilds of the beautiful and untamed Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
