It's been a long time since I visited the UP of Michigan. I'd like to go back someday. But first I'd have to know the best time of summer to avoid the blackflies. The last time I was there they were genuinely intolerable anywhere around Lake Superior.
Go there in September or early October. The leaves are changing and the kids are back in school so it's much quieter.
I always go in early to mid October. I've been in Mid August, September as well and didn't even know there was an insect problem. It must be a June/July timeframe
