Bruce Crossing, MI

Located in the heart of Michigan's western Upper Peninsula, Bruce Crossing is a quiet rural community centered around the intersection of US-45 and M-28. The town took root in the late 1800s as a small logging and railroad stop named after local storekeeper Donald Bruce. Today, it remains a familiar stop for travelers passing through Ontonagon County and a peaceful home base for residents who enjoy small-town living.
