Burt Township

Burt Township stretches from Lake Superior’s shoreline to the forested interior of Alger County, encompassing a sparsely settled part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula marked by dunes, wetlands, and northern hardwoods. Grand Marais, its main settlement, sits beside a protected harbor and reflects a past shaped by commercial fishing and logging. Nearby, the coast meets Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, while the Grand Sable Dunes form a notable stretch of shifting sand above the lake. Beaches, trails, and paddling routes are closely tied to Lake Superior’s quickly changing weather.
