Established in 1992, the Fumee Lake Natural Area has over 1800 acres used in a wide variety of non-motorized activities.  

One of the area’s greatest attributes is its location.  A few minutes off U.S. 2 west of Norway and east of Quinnesec, it lies within five miles of Dickinson County’s most populated metro areas, a fact that a visitor is not able to detect due to the sheltering of the surrounding hills. 

The Fumee Lake Natural Area has a number of unique features.  Fumee Lake and Little Fumee Lake provide a total of five miles of undeveloped shoreline. In addition to numerous wetlands, 507 acres of surface water holds a fishery deemed "very remarkable and unique" by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The area has historically been home to a number of  rare or threatened species including the Bald Eagle, Common Loon, and seventeen species of orchids.  Three plants on Michigan's Threatened Species list are found here: Walking Fern, Purple Cliff-brake and Marsh Grass of Parnassus.

The Fumee Lake Natural Area is used by educators to teach students about ecology. A number of non-motorized recreational opportunities await its visitors. Hiking, biking, bird watching, and nature photography in the spring, summer, and fall; Cross country skiing, fat tire biking and snow shoeing in the winter months. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this four-season natural area

One of the most scenic and popular natural attractions in the river corridor is Piers Gorge. It contains some of the fastest-moving water in Michigan and Wisconsin. It is not navigable for general canoeing (class IV to V white water), but still offers beautiful scenery and good wildlife viewing from shore. It has become one of the more popular destinations for expert class kayakers in the eastern U.S. An undeveloped foot trail parallels the gorge for ½ to 3/4 of a mile.The Piers Gorge hiking trail  includes hills, rocks and rugged terrain, making the trail challenging. The trail begins with a map at its trail head, followed by two foot bridges. Wooden markers direct you to four piers along the river trail. The first pier includes a scenic stop, small rapids and a steep hill to climb. Pier 2 follows another steep climb and strong rapids. Between piers 2 and 3, find more steep spots, scenic viewing locations and very strong rapids. Pier 4 has two markers, the first near a grassy meadow, and the second closer to the river. Past the fourth marker there are very steep boulders to climb, and the trail ends after approximately 3/4 miles in a grassy meadow full of ferns.

  
 

5.5 miles. Located on the northern end of the City of Niagara, you can access these walking trails from Highway 141. Take Washington Avenue east about 1/2 mile to Tyler Road, turn left at the 4-way stop. There are three trail heads along the est side of Tyler Road with parking. Take time to hike, bike, cross country ski, or snowshoe in this pristine area. Enjoy the wooded beauty of the seasons along these trails from the upper ridges overlooking the Menominee River Valley or down along the river and wetlands.

In 1878 a sawmill was erected here as the first industry in the Norway - Vulcan area. John O'Callaghan was owner of this mill which supplied early mining number needs until 1902. This spring was caused by a 1094 foot hole which was drilled in 1903 by the Oliver Mining Company in search of iron ore. The hole cuts several steeply dipping porous strata that trap water at the higher elevations to the north. The difference in elevation causes pressure: this pressure is released by the drilled hole demonstrating the principle of the artesian well. On the slope to the north are the obscure workings of the Few and Munro mines, operated in 1903-1922, now owned by the Ford Motor Company.

This roadside stop now offers free water to all. Fresh, clean and cold, this is a great spot to stop on fill your water bottles and stretch your legs. There is a small picnic area as well. It is located just on the west city limits of Norway, right on US-2. 

The Upper Peninsula Veterans Memorial is dedicated to pay tribute to the members of the armed services and to their memory. The Memorial is located next to the Pine Mountain Ski Jump.

Sitting peacefully at the north end of downtown Norway, this park is a popular little station off City Loop Linear Park, as well as a destination all its own for many residents. In winter weather, the walking trail is utilized for cross-country skiing, and an ice rink beside the lake is fashioned, while a warming house waits close by. Skate yout heart away from dawn 'til dusk- but the warming house may not hold the same hours.
