Kingsford is a compact, friendly Upper Peninsula river town with easy access to forests, lakes, trails and a small but lively downtown—comfortable for multi-week assignments thanks to affordable housing, local eateries, seasonal events and plenty of outdoor recreation year-round.
It’s essentially adjacent to Iron Mountain (just a couple miles) and about 48 miles from Escanaba, both of which offer bigger grocery/medical options, dining and weekend activities if you want more to do
