Munising Ranger District

May–Sep
best months

The Munising Ranger District is a fishing area within the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan, managed by the Forest Service. It is not a single trail or peak but a district of the forest, and it sits about half a mile from the Munsing Lakeshore weather station, which makes it easy to pair with a trip to the lakeshore. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby weather station show July highs around 75°F with lows near 55°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Several other outdoor spots lie within a few miles. Lyme Timber is a hike about 1.5 miles away, and the Vs to Wetmore, Pine Line hike is about 2.8 miles off. Bay Furnace Campground and Channel Marker Campsite are both within about 3.5 miles.
