Silver City, MI is a little village at the mouth of the Iron River nestled by the foothills of the Porcupine Mountains. Silver City was founded in the late 1870's when a small vein of silver was discovered just south of the city that started a "silver rush" but not enough silver was mined to be profitable. Now you can find delightful rental cabins, cottages, motels, and vacation homes on the shores of Lake Superior and small shops with specialty items. An excellent spot for the outdoor enthusiast or those who just want to sit on the deck or on the beach and enjoy the awesome beauty of Lake Superior. The "Porkies: offers visitors year round outdoor fun with wonderful hiking trails throughout the park, scenic overlooks, old mine sites, waterfalls, camping, fishing, hunting, canoeing, abundant wildlife, birding, and biking. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling with great photographic opportunities throughout the year. at the Eastern Entrance to the Porcupine Mountains State Park Cabins, Cottages, Vacation Homes, Lodges, and Motels A Cabin UP NORTH, 30978 W.
