There are two bakeries in Bessemer. Take Powderhorn Road to Route 2; turn left (east Route 2) and drive a couple miles into Bessemer to the blinking yellow light. Take a right and go about 2 blocks--it's on your right. Or, instead of going right at the blinking yellow light, take a left at the light, go about one block and there's another one on your right. |

Deep Water Grille and
South Shore Brewery 808 West Main Street Ashland, WI 54806 715.682.4200 |
50-minute drive. Excellent food, brewery. Choose your ale!! Take Route 2 West 44 miles into Ashley, Wisconsin. Turn left onto MacArthur Ave. Take first right onto Main St. West. Deep Water Grille is on the left. |
| The Bear Bar Restaurant Lodge | 60-minute drive. One of the best meals we've had. It's an old lodge/cabin with a neat history. Take Route 2 East to Wakefield. Turn right at Club 28 bar and go 20 miles until you come to a T in the road. Turn right at the T, which is County W South. Go a couple more miles and The Bear is on the right. | |
|
Konteka Black Bear Resort Hwy 64 & Main White Pine, MI 49971 906.885.5170 |
45-minute drive. On the snowmobile trail. In the summer, see real, live, black bears! They feed the bears so the big, well-fed, bears come out to eat and you can watch them from your inside table. Food was pretty good, too, but the real draw is to see bears. Take Route 2 East to Wakefield. | |
