WHITE PINE, MI

White Pine Michigan is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Upper Peninsula—where history, nature, and community weave together to create a place unlike any other. Located in Ontonagon County, this small village finds itself nestled between the expansive wilderness of the Ottawa National Forest and the shores of Lake Superior, offering breathtaking scenery and an air of quiet resilience.

White Pine’s story is deeply rooted in the copper mining industry. The White Pine Mine, once one of the largest copper mines in the area, brought prosperity and opportunity to the village. Though the mine has long since closed, its legacy remains alive in the character of the community. The name itself evokes strength and endurance, much like the towering white pine trees that dominate the landscape.

But White Pine is more than its history. It’s a gateway to exploration and adventure in the heart of the UP. Nearby Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, affectionately called the "Porkies," offers miles of hiking trails, cascading waterfalls, and awe-inspiring vistas. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the area for camping, skiing, fishing, and stargazing under skies unspoiled by light pollution.
