Lakenenland Sculpture Park

Lakenenland Sculpture Park is a unique art park in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula which contains a large variety of metal sculptures and junkyard art, made by former ironworker and local artist Tom Lakenen. Situated on a half-mile dirt trail among scenic pines where you can either walk, drive or even snowmobile in the winter, the sculptures in the park are wildly imaginative, made with expert craftsmanship. We were so glad we stopped to check this out. Leashed dogs are also welcomed at this attraction. In addition for any hiking buffs, the Marquette area trailhead for the North Country Trail is located behind the park.

Admission to the sculpture park is free although donations are appreciated and certainly well-deserved. Apparently the owner has had quite the battle with the township over this park but continues to keep the park free and open, 24 hours a day.
