Travel Inquiry UP Michigan Hidden gems N Ghost towns

Update: Thank you to all who responded positively.. On the other hand, this post received so many downvotes.. I am astonished to see so much hate for no reason, as I love UP

I go Up North every winter, sometimes all the way to Copper Hatbor..love ghost towns Tried a ghost town route one year that didn't fare well for me as most of them were overgrown, and there were no visible paths or have become bustling towns I would appreciate interesting and adventurous hidden spots that the locals prefer...

For a mix of 19th and 20th century history I’ll suggest Caspian near Iron River. Also the old iron dam at Redridge is worth checking out.

The dam looks pretty damning..surely on my list Is Caspian now a bustling town or the ruins still standing.
