Shingleton sits at the crossroads of M-28 and M-94, a quiet basecamp for exploring the eastern Upper Peninsula’s headline landscapes. Minutes away, sandstone cliffs, waterfalls, and sugar-sand beaches define the shoreline of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, cared for by the National Park Service at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Inland, the Hiawatha National Forest stretches in every direction, offering miles of hiking, boating, and backcountry camping via the Hiawatha National Forest. From town, the historic Haywire Grade Trail rolls south to Manistique—Michigan’s first rail-trail for motorized use—inviting four-season adventures on the Michigan DNR’s Haywire Grade Trail. Winter brings deep, reliable snow for snowmobiling and silent-woods snowshoe treks; fall delivers blazing color along quiet county roads and lakes.
