West Zone in Michigan. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 534 public campsites we map in Michigan.

The West Unit is located in the central of the Upper Peninsula, bordering two of the Great Lakes - Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. The western portion of the Hiawatha extends from the towns of Rapid River and Manistique, along Lake Michigan, to the town of Munising on the Lake Superior shore. For information about free educational campground programs on these three Ranger Districts, visit the Events page.
