Summer views of Lake Superior

The top of Sugarloaf Mountain

Lake Superior is amazing in all seasons and is very close to NMU. A summer hike to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, just four miles away from campus, provides a good work-out and spectacular views of Lake Superior. See Northern Naturally video winners to see more of the surrounding natural resources. Are you interested in combining the great outdoors with your graduate education? See our Graduate Bulletin for program options. Apply before July 1, 2013 and your $50 application fee will be waived.
