Huron Bay

Huron Bay is a long, narrow bay 12.3 miles (19.8 km) long, located in Baraga County, Michigan, on the northern shore of the Upper Peninsula of the State of Michigan.

The bay, oriented in a northeast-southwest direction, is bounded by the Huron Mountains on its east and the Abbaye Peninsula on its west.

This bay is extremely narrow, being less than 1.0 mile (1.6 km) wide for most of its length, and it is one of the largest freshwater fjords in North America.
