	Porcupine Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Porcupine Mountains are group of small mountains spanning across the northwestern Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Ontonagon and Gogebic counties, near the shore of Lake Superior.
		The most striking geological feature of the Porcupine Mountains is the long basalt and conglomerate escarpment parallel to the Lake Superior shore and overlooking Lake of the Clouds, a continuation of the same copper-bearing bedrock found farther northeast on the Keweenaw Peninsula.
		Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park was established in 1945 to protect the last large stand of old-growth forest remaining in Michigan.
