Iron River is in the heart of the Menominee Iron Range — the Crystal Falls courthouse dome is visible for miles and the area's iron mining ghost towns are fascinating.

What You'll Find There

Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, and the iron range heritage community spirit of one of the UP's most authentic mining communities.
