Luce County is located in the northeastern part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, along the southern shore of Lake Superior.  Luce County's biggest claim to fame is the extraordinarily beautiful Tahquamenon Falls, the second largest falls east of the Mississippi. Luce county is still a wide open wilderness with about 1/2 of the county in the Lake Superior State Forest. The county seat is Newberry. The county is named for Michigan Governor, Cyrus Luce, who served from 1887 to 1890. If you ever want to just gaze on pure "beauty" - take a trip to Luce County.
