Ironwood

Ironwood straddles the Gogebic Range in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula, where iron-ore deposits shaped a town built around mining. Close to the Wisconsin state line, it is surrounded by forested uplands and the ski country of the western U.P. The historic Ironwood Theatre, opened in 1928, recalls the period when the Gogebic Range drew miners, families and investment. North of town, the Black River runs through the Ottawa National Forest before reaching Lake Superior, and the Black River Scenic Byway connects inland communities with the lakeshore.
