Luce County, County seat in Upper Peninsula, Michigan, US
Luce County stretches across the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, encompassing forests, lakes, and extensive recreational trails throughout its 1,912 square miles.
Following its separation from Chippewa County in 1887, Luce County established Newberry as its administrative center, marking the beginning of independent governance in the region.
The Michigan State Legislature officially designated Newberry as the Moose Capital of Michigan due to the substantial population of these large mammals in the area.
Winter parking regulations in Newberry prohibit street parking between midnight and 7 AM from November 15 to April 15, with specific restrictions on Truman Boulevard.
The Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race, held each January in Newberry, draws competitors and spectators to experience winter sports in the Upper Peninsula.
