	Ghost Towns of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from the copper mining of the 1800s
		From 1843 to the 1920's, the Upper Peninsula was the only place on earth where pure, workable native copper was found in commercial quantities.
		In the late 1800's and early 1900's the Keweenaw Peninsula was alive with the sounds of the copper mines.
		The miners' picks are quiet now, the families are gone, and all that is left is the sound of the wind rustling through the ruins of these abandoned mines and buildings.

		The waterway connecting the two sides of the peninsula is a relic of the copper boom days.
		The area was the site of the first mineral boom in the 1850's (they don't count the 49 gold rush) when rich copper deposits were found.

		I live on the Keeweenaw peninsula if that is what you are talking about.
		For beautiful scenery in the lower peninsula (LP), I would suggest the western side of the state along Lake Michigan.
		As for the upper peninsula (UP), the former posts about the Keewanau Peninsula are right-on, though getting there can be pretty bleak and remote on M-28 or US 2 (though US 2 has a fine stretch right on Lake Michigan--just watch out for the Winnebago Express!).

		Seney Wildlife Refuge is in the central part or the UP with lots of flying things, including mosquitoes.
		As to things like waterfalls, lakes, and streams, your best bet is around the Copper Country (Keeweenaw Peninsula, and just south of it.) There are about 200 waterfalls in the UP and only one of any signicance in the LP.
		The farther north you go the better it is. My favorite area of Michigan is the eastern UP (I've never been to the western side), but there are many out-of-the-way spots to explore in the northern Lower Peninsula too.
