It has gained nationaland international recognitionon many fronts, most recentlyhonored for the outstandinghiking and biking trails. Could surfing be next? Why not?Blessed with 80 miles of shoreline along Lake Superior—the largest freshwater lake in the world by surfacearea—the Marquette area alone has an outstandingamount of publicly accessible shoreline. Everywhere yougo in Marquette, the “Big Lake” isn’t far away.From the turnouts on M-28, South Beach, McCarty’sCove, countless points all along Lakeshore Driveheading out to Presque Isle, locations all around the“island” of Presque Isle, heading north on CR-550 fromWetmore Landing to Little Presque Isle, (well, you getthe idea), there’s a ton of public access to Lake Superiorin these parts creating opportunities for finding spotswhere the waves are breaking.For the locals, watching the surfers master the great wavesof Superior in the fall and winter at Presque Isle park is thenewest pastime. For the “surfers of Superior” weather is noproblem it only means wiping off the snow and ice andgetting back on the board and doing it again.Above: Surfer Guys Dan Shetter, Mike Horton & Dan Rapp.Top Left: Dan Rapp with ice forming on his head.Credit: All photos by Shawn Malone14 Marquette Country 2009-10 Visitors Guide www.marquettecountry.org 800.544.4321/906.228.7749 Marquette Country — Always in Season 15
