This town is a gem! We stopped in Ontonagon again on our way back to the Apostles. Patrick and Jessica found that you can take public transportation to the Porcupine Mountains and go hiking in the park. Bob, the harbor master, was very helpful with many recommendations and he also took me to a truck stop so I could buy diesel fuel.
There are two ways to go "down town" from the marina. The long way (and our preferred way because we like to walk) is to walk around and across the new bridge and the short way is to dingy from the marina to one of the dingy docks across the river which puts you right "down town". I used the dingy method a few times because I just wanted to go to Syl's cafe to send some email and once again when I just needed some ice for the cooler.
We toured the old Ontonagon Light House. The local historical organization has restored it and it is beautiful. You must take a shuttle to visit it and we found it very interesting and well done.
Ontonagon is a very friendly town with many activities and shopping opportunities. It is a "must see" for anyone visiting the UP.
