Three Lakes rewards residents and newcomers with big-outdoor energy and small-community ease. Set along the M-28 corridor between Marquette and L’Anse in Baraga County, it’s named for a trio of clear waters—Beaufort, George, and Ruth—where anglers chase walleye and pike, paddlers slip into quiet coves, and sunsets do the heavy lifting. Weekends often mean a quick drive to Craig Lake State Park, one of the Upper Peninsula’s wildest retreats, managed by the state’s outdoor stewards at the Michigan DNR; explore more at Craig Lake State Park through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The wider backcountry of the Ottawa National Forest opens miles of hiking, snowshoeing, and fall-color touring, with pockets of deep silence that are rare elsewhere.
Families appreciate flexible school options: NICE Community Schools, L’Anse Area Schools, and Baraga Area Schools all serve addresses in and around the area. For higher education and cultural events, Northern Michigan University in Marquette and Michigan Technological University in nearby Houghton are close enough for an evening lecture or hockey game, yet far enough to keep Three Lakes delightfully unhurried.
With year-round recreation, straightforward commutes on well-plowed roads, and a lifestyle that prizes space and sky, Three Lakes makes an inviting base for first-time buyers, weekenders, and downsizers alike. Whether you’re selling a camp on the water or searching for a year-round home, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate pro who knows the terrain and the market.
