Wakefield, MI

Wakefield sits in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula, just ten miles from the Wisconsin border where U.S. 2 and M-28 meet. Daily life here centers around Sunday Lake, a scenic spot right in town that features Eddy Park, a swimming beach, and a popular campground. The area was built during the iron mining boom, and today it thrives as a quiet Northwoods community surrounded by deep forests and open water.

Outdoor recreation is a major draw in every season. Summer brings fishing, boating, and community events to the lake, while winter delivers heavy lake-effect snow that keeps snowmobilers and nearby ski hills like Snow River Mountain Resort busy. With the local school overlooking the water, reliable healthcare services in town, and the Porcupine Mountains just up the road, Wakefield offers a grounded, nature-focused lifestyle.
