Munising, County seat in Upper Peninsula, Michigan, United States.
Munising stretches along Lake Superior at an elevation of 187 meters, featuring sandstone cliffs and dense forests extending to the shoreline.
Founded in 1885, Munising developed from a Native American settlement into a center for lumber operations before becoming the administrative hub of Alger County.
The city maintains strong connections to its Native American heritage through the presence of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and their local traditions.
Visitors access the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore through Munising's harbor, which provides boat tours and kayak rentals from May through October.
The winter temperatures in Munising create natural ice formations along the Pictured Rocks cliffs, transforming the landscape into frozen waterfalls.
