What is Up North's most breathtaking scenic overlook?

I'm a fan of the lush spring green of Deadman's Hill in the Jordan River Valley...where else is worth a spring drive? Or hike for that matter?

I enjoy Pyramid Point on the Sleeping Bear Dunes national shoreline. I proposed to my wife up there overlooking Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands.

Have to agree with Gtalaga here. Pyramid Point is by far one of the best scenic overlooks that you can also freely hike.

Empire Bluffs, nice hike and nice view! Take a container of bubbles on a windy day...it makes for a great photo op!

Love the view from the patio in front of Leg's Inn. Go there for a wonderful meal and a spectacular view of Lake Michigan, several islands and lighthouses.

The porch at the Arcadia Bluffs clubhouse is a pretty nice view! And you can enjoy a meal or a glass of wine while you are taking it all in. If you are lucky, the strolling bagpiper adds some atmosphere as the sun goes down on another perfect day.

The scenic overlook just north of Arcadia on M-22 is one of the best views of Lake Michigan.

There are so many! But one stands out for me that has not been mentioned: The Manistee River High Bank Rollaway. During the logging days, logs were piled at the top of the bank until the spring thaw. Then the logs were rolled down into the river so they would float to the saw mill. Check this link. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM415P

View from the top of Sugarloaf is amazing in all directions!

My all time favorites are Highbanks Rollway and the top of the Dunes. Pierce Stocking trail has a cool overlook too, but the Dunes view spans in every direction.
