What to do in Marquette

Marquette is a beautiful place, and the more things you know about the area the better you're experience will be while staying in here. If you love being outdoors than you're in the right place, Marquette has so many different things you can do, and I'm still learning new places to enjoy and I have been living here since I was born. Hiking trails are all over here so it's hard for me to tell you all of them, but some of the best are Mount Marquette located along the Carp River, Sugar Loaf Mountain on County Road 550, and the highest mountain in Marquette County, Hogsback Mountain which is also on County Road 550 across from Sugar Loaf Mountain. Also if you're into fishing there is so many places you can choose to fish, being a fisherman myself I'm not going to tell all you all my secret spots, but of course there is Lake Superior, a ton of inland lakes, rivers, streams, there not hard to find and of course the rivers and lakes are all good when you need to cool off in the summer. Golfing is also pretty big here in Marquette, Northern has their own course off of M28, and Grey Walls off of County Road 553 are the main ones that I know of, also Disc Golf another form golf is another popular thing in Marquette. There are two courses, Powder Mill off of County Road 550 along the Dead River which is right off campus. The other one is the Silver Creek Course which is off of Silver Creek Road in Harvey, just south east of Marquette. In the Winter I'd just suggest staying inside it's mostly very cold, storming, or a little bit of both. But there is also things to do, skiing or snowboarding on Marquette Mountain, you can cross country ski, snowshoeing, ice fishing on Lake Superior, and my favorite thing to do outdoor hockey and there are many places you can go for that.  I hope you all enjoy your time in Marquette!

The Weekend

First week of college is over and the weekend is here, it's going to be an awesome weekend. Time for homework, typing blogs, reading my Music in Society book, and having  great 8 hour shifts at work. So whenever I have free time my weekend usually consists of hanging out with friends, going to Northern sporting events, usually just football and hockey games because there the only sports I can watch without falling asleep. Other sporting events I go to that are not related to Northern sports are Marquette Royals and now the new Marquette Iron Rangers hockey games and they are more exciting to watch because there aloud to fight unlike going to Northern hockey games. I will also on occasion stop in and watch Marquette Redmen High School Football games. Other than watching sports, I'm either out on the biking or hiking trails, four wheeling, swimming, fishing, playing disc golf, and when snow falls there's really nothing else I'd rather do than spending my time out on the outdoor rinks, or watching hockey like I mentioned earlier. If not that I'm playing Xbox, either NHL, Madden, or GTA are my main go to games. Hope you enjoyed reading my blog, now I'm off to work.

About Myself

My name is Trey Haglund, I was born and raised in Marquette Michigan. I have started my first year of college at Northern Michigan University this Fall of 2015. I chose Northern Michigan for my choice of college because it is close to home, and the area is a beautiful place and leaving wasn't in my interest of doing. The major that I am going for at the moment is Wildlife Management, but I'm interested in seeing on what other major's spark my interest. I chose Wildlife Management as my major because I would like to study wildlife and the populations and help maintain their population. I spend most of my time in the outdoors, I like to go fishing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, four wheeling, and disc golfing. I am also a pretty big into sports, I've played hockey, baseball, and soccer since I was little. My favorite sports teams are all out of Detroit, I like the Redwings, Lions, and Tigers. I am excited to see what my first year of college brings for me, the new things I will learn and the new people I will get to meet throughout my first semester and hopefully the rest of my college career here at NMU.
