Little Mountain
Right outside L'Anse, this is one of those high places like Silver Mountain where a cap of resistant rock kept the hilltop from eroding away. A mostly quite gentle hike through woods ends up on a flat rock with a panoramic view of Keweenaw Bay and the Huron Mountains. Spectacular in fall! About 25 minutes up.
Off U.S. 41 about 2 miles south of L'Anse, or 9-10 miles north of M-28 junction near Covington. Take Golf Course Road 2 miles west to trailhead. Take left fork of trail if in doubt. (906) 524-7444. No fee. Not handicap accessible.
