Article History

Mount Arvon, peak, Baraga county, northern Upper Peninsula, Michigan, U.S. Reaching an elevation of 1,979 feet (603 metres), it is the highest point in the state. It lies about 12 miles (20 km) east of L’Anse, inland from the Lake Superior shore in a wilderness recreational region of lakes and streams that includes Baraga and Craig Lake state parks west and southeast (respectively) of the peak. The Huron Mountains, extending for about 20 miles (30 km) along the southern shore of Lake Superior, are close by to the northeast. Also nearby is Mount Curwood, which long was considered Michigan’s highest point.
