Hurley

The city of Hurley, located on Wisconsin's border with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, made a name for itself as a wild and woolly outpost during the region’s iron mining days in the late 1800s. Today the town is best known for the glorious waterfalls that can be found nearby on the Montreal River. With 250 miles of ATV trails and record breaking snowfalls covering countless miles of snowmobile trails, the Hurley area is the place to experience outdoor adventure. Hurley’s 19th century county courthouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been turned into a museum devoted to the area’s rich mining, logging and farming heritage.
