Lakenenland, Outdoor sculpture park in Marquette County, United States.
Lakenenland is a 37-acre sculpture park with over 100 metal artworks made from recycled materials distributed along winding paths through forested terrain. The grounds integrate fishing ponds and a timber-framed pavilion with a fireplace, creating spaces to pause while exploring.
Union boilermaker Tom Lakenen established the park over two decades ago, transforming scrap metal into artistic creations through years of dedicated work. His vision grew from a personal project into a recognized artistic destination.
The sculptures reflect local history and traditions, including a Michigan-inspired Mount Rushmore featuring regional leaders. Walking through the grounds, visitors encounter these expressions of regional identity woven into the landscape.
The site remains open daily year-round with free entry, making it accessible for visits in any season. Visitors can explore on foot or by car, allowing flexibility based on mobility and time available.
The property provides direct access to the North Country Trail system, allowing visitors to extend their experience into multi-day hiking adventures. This connection links art viewing with wilderness exploration in a way many visitors do not anticipate.
