Presque Isle Beach

Presque Isle Beach is a public beach on a lake in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula, about 16 miles from the town of Wakefield. It sits right beside several trails in Porcupine Mountains State Park, which makes it an easy stop on a day spent hiking in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July highs typically reach about 77°F with lows near 55°F, and August is nearly as warm. These are typical averages from a weather station in Ironwood, about 18 miles away. Winters are severe, with January highs around 20°F. The Lake Superior Trail starts about 0.2 miles from the beach. The East River and West River trails, along with a stretch of the North Country Trail and Iron Belle Trail, are all within half a mile. For an overnight stay, Black River Harbor Campground is about 4 miles away.
