Upcountry Land Works

About Upcountry Land Works

Finland sits back off Lake Superior in the high country above the Baptism River, where Highway 1 leaves the shore and climbs into the national forest. Snow up here is a serious proposition — it comes off the big lake, packs into the spruce, and buries a quarter-mile driveway without any fuss at all. Upcountry Land Works handles exactly that: plowing drives and access roads, opening turnarounds, clearing walks and steps, and cutting the banks back before they close a lane in for the season. The satisfying part is arriving at a place with no way out and leaving it with one, the woods still dark and the plow ridge steaming. Backcountry addresses take longer to reach, and that is precisely why somebody has to.
