With century old trees and ancient rock outcroppings, this trail reminds me of a few of the better hikes I’ve done in the rainforests of Australia. Most people come to Sugarloaf for the view, but the forest canopy that envelops the trails is worth mentioning. There’s an optional “easy” route with a tamer grade that takes a little longer, but both paths up the mountain do require a extra care as rocks and roots stick out of the ground along much of the path. On a recent hike, my first time to Sugarloaf Mountain, two friends and I took the “difficult” route and made it up in about fifteen minutes. A sign that reads “Sugarloaf Mountain” marks the parking area and is easily visible from CR 550. Drive about 4.0 miles on Hawley Street/CR-550 to the parking area. Turn north onto Fourth Ave., which becomes Presque Isle Ave and drive. Get there by taking Washington Street to Fourth Avenue. Sugarloaf Mountain is located about six miles north of downtown Marquette on CR 550. The trailhead is just a few miles from downtown Marquette, the turnoff from county road 550 is well marked, and it's a relatively quick hike to the top where you're rewarded with one of the best views in the Upper Peninsula. Here’s advice from native “Yooper” Jesse Land for what to expect on your hike to the top. One shining example is Sugarloaf Mountain.
