Information About

Michigan State Highway 28




Michigan 28, or '''M-28''' is a long east-west State Highway that almost completely traverses the Upper Peninsula Of Michigan from Wakefield , junction U.S. Highway 2 to near Rosedale , junction Michigan State Highway 129 . It has intersections with U.S. Highway 45 at Bruce Crossing and Interstate 75 near Dafter . Between Covington (where U.S. Highway 41 and U.S. Highway 141 have their northern junction) and Marquette , M-28 and US-41 coincide, and the route is more decidedly east-west than north-south, through hilly terrain. Between Marquette and Munising , M-28 gives a spectacular view of Lake Superior shoreline; west of Munising is a ferry dock offering transport to the Grand Island National Recreation Area , and at Munising, one has easy access to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore . East of Munising, M-28 borders the Seney National Wildlife Refuge . Tahquamenon Falls State Park , containing Tahquamenon Falls , is a short drive on Michigan State Highway 123 from M-28.

All of M-28 is surface road, undivided except for segments coinciding with US-41 near Marquette. Much of M-28 is part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour .

''Historical notes'': From 1952 to 1962, M-28 crossed US-2 at Wakefield going south and stopped at the Wisconsin line, connecting with a county road; in Chippewa County , M-28 originally turned north to Brimley , then east onto 6 mile Road to stop at US-2 ( Mackinaw Trail ).
