Ontonagon
is a village in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat
of Ontonagon County. The village is located within Ontonagon Township,
at the mouth of the Ontonagon River on Lake Superior. The main industry
centers on the coal port at the river mouth.
Whatever your favorite
time of year or whatever your favorite outdoor activity, the Ontonagon
County Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome you to the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan, a great place to visit—and stay awhile. We’re
on the south shore of Lake Superior, with miles of sandy agate beaches
and fabulous sunsets. On the west side is Porcupine Mountains Wilderness
State Park with miles of hiking, Alpine and Nordic ski trails, and
hundreds of acres of virgin timber.
In the south part of the
county, we have Lake Gogebic and the Ottawa National Forest. All this
surrounds over 100 waterfalls and miles of snowmobile and multi-use
trails. The North Country Trail bisects our county on its route from
the Appalachian Trail in Vermont to the Lewis and Clark Trail in North
Dakota.
