Big Bay

The landscape around Big Bay is a rugged, forested section of Lake Superior’s southern shore, which has shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and a local economy tied to recreation and seasonal travel. The community lies in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with the Huron Mountains inland and the lake defining its northern edge. Big Bay Point Lighthouse, built in 1896 on the nearby shore, recalls the era when navigational lights guided shipping along this demanding coast. Big Bay is also associated with Otto Preminger’s 1959 film Anatomy of a Murder, which was partly shot in the area.
