McCormick Wilderness, Wilderness area in Baraga County, Michigan, US.
The 16,850-acre McCormick Wilderness contains eighteen small lakes, northern hardwoods, lowland conifers, and patches of white pine across its varied terrain.
The land belonged to three generations of the McCormick family, descendants of Cyrus McCormick who invented the reaping machine, before Gordon McCormick gave it to the Forest Service.
The White Deer Lake Trail extends three miles from County Road 607 to the former McCormick estate site, preserving the connection to early settlement patterns.
Digital maps and navigation tools help visitors explore the wilderness, as many trails remain unmaintained and require advanced orientation skills.
The Yellow Dog River flows through the area with multiple cascading waterfalls, making certain sections impossible to navigate by water.
