Foster City balances everyday ease with Upper Peninsula adventure. Tucked amid forests and clear waters in Dickinson County, this small community offers quiet living while keeping you close to bigger-town conveniences in Iron Mountain and Norway. Locals prize the open sky, trail access, and year-round recreation, from kayaking and fishing to snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
Families appreciate practical education options, including the well-regarded North Dickinson County Schools, home of the Nordics, with academics and athletics centered at the district’s Felch campus. Explore programs and calendars through the North Dickinson County Schools website. For advanced training and degree programs, the Bay College West Campus provides accessible higher education and workforce pathways in nearby Iron Mountain. Health needs are well served by Dickinson County Healthcare System, offering a full-service hospital, clinics, and specialty care.
Weekends practically plan themselves. Walk or bike miles of quiet loops at the county-managed Fumee Lake Natural Area, or swim, paddle, and camp at Lake Antoine Park Campground. A short scenic drive leads to Bewabic State Park near Crystal Falls, where old-growth pines frame sandy swimming areas and hiking trails. In winter, carve turns or tee off in summer at Pine Mountain Ski & Golf Resort, a regional favorite for downhill runs and a classic Upper Peninsula golf experience.
