M-203 is a north–south state trunkline highway in the Upper Peninsula. It connects McLain State Park with US 41 on each end in Hancock and Calumet. The southern section of highway on the west side of Hancock runs parallel to the Portage Canal before the highway turns northward parallel to Lake Superior near the state park. The trunkline has existed since commissioning in 1933. At first it was a spur from Hancock northward until it was temporarily decommissioned in 1939. This action was reversed, and the highway was extended northward in 1940. Further changes were made to the routing in 1963. (more...)
