Mount Curwood, elevation 1,978 feet (603 m), in L'Anse Township, Baraga County, is the second highest point in the U.S. state of Michigan. Mount Curwood is a part of the Huron Mountains range.
Named in honor of Michigan author James Oliver Curwood, Mount Curwood was long designated as Michigan's highest point until a survey in 1982 with modern technology determined that nearby Mount Arvon is actually 1,979 feet (603 m) high—one foot taller than Mount Curwood.
