Do you desire to travel where few people have gone in an effort to put that location on the map, or travel to places that are already prime tourist destinations and enjoy sights that travelers have raved about for decades?

If you are someone who prefers to prioritize local, more quaint destinations over popular tourists points, then you might want to consider this information when crafting your next trip itinerary! While there are a handful of really cool tourists attractions scattered across Michigan, there is one place that's a little off the radar that adds unique adventure to any trip.

This specific location was recently named the "best hidden gem destination" in the entire state!

According to Cheapism the best hidden gem destination in all of Michigan is Isle Royale National Park.

Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best hidden gem destination in the entire state:

"In Lake Superior between Thunder Bay, Canada, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, one of America's least visited national parks remains a mystery to even the most die-hard Michiganders. But those who make the grueling trek are rewarded with a wilderness paradise consisting of hundreds of gorgeous little islands brimming with wildlife and nearly entirely devoid of humans."
