About this place

The White Deer Lake Trailhead is located on the western side of the McCormick Wilderness. The three mile White Lake Trail connects County Road 607 to White Deer Lake where the McCormick Estate once stood. Remnants of old, unmaintained trails can sometimes be found, but the rest of the Wilderness is fairly rugged, isolated, unspoiled, and relatively difficult to access. From Marquette Mi., Take Big Bay Road to Triple A Road to Ford Road to the boundary of the Wilderness. From Ishpeming take US41 west to MCR 607 and go north. From Michigamme or points west take M28 to US41 and then turn left on MCR 607. There is a parking area about 9.2 miles just off the road at the trailhead.
