Natural rock formation

Just down the hill from Hill Street House is Jasper Knob. (A 15 second drive away) Drive down Hill Street, when you turn right you’ll be facing Jasper Knob straight ahead. There is a rock wall and rock steps leading to the trail. A 3-4 minute uphill hike takes you to the top of the largest exposed wavy jasper formation in the world. Great for the view and rock hounds will love the rock formation. This is literally a hidden gem!

Neighborhoods

Historic Ishpeming got its start in the 1800’s when iron ore was discovered in the area. Some of the best singletrack mountain biking in the midwest is the result after the rich mining legacy left outstanding technical riding features! Hiking abounds and there are lakes and woods in every direction. Great destination for winter sports as well with plenty of snow for snowmobiling, cross county skiing and snow-biking with groomed trails for all winter activities. Also home to the US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame and Suicide Hill Ski Jump. And don’t miss the opportunity to stop into Da Yooper Tourist Trap while you’re in town!
