'''M-123''' is a [[Michigan Highway System|state trunkline highway]] in the eastern [[Upper Peninsula of Michigan|Upper Peninsula]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Michigan]]. It is one of only a few highways in Michigan that curve around and form a U-shape. In fact, M-123 has three intersections with only two state trunklines. It meets [[M-28 (Michigan highway)|M-28]] twice as a result of its U-shaped routing. M-123 also has a rare signed [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with a [[List of Michigan County-Designated Highways|County-Designated Highway]] in Michigan; in [[Trout Lake Township, Michigan|Trout Lake]], there is a concurrency with [[H-40 (Michigan county highway)|H-40]]. All of M-123 north of M-28 is a ''Scenic Heritage Route'' within the [[Michigan Heritage Route]] system.

==Route description==
M-123 serves a thinly-populated section of the state. Much of the highway passes through the eastern unit of the [[Hiawatha National Forest]]. From the "northern terminus" it extends north from M-28 in [[Newberry, Michigan|Newberry]] to [[Paradise, Michigan|Paradise]]. The trunkline crosses a branch of the Tahquamenon River before meeting [[H-37 (Michigan county highway)]]. North of this junction, M-123 turns northeasterly, crossing the Auger River and Murphy Creek. Near the [[Luce County, Michigan|Luce]]–[[Chippewa County, Michigan|Chippewa]] county line, M-123 runs next to the Tahquamenon River, and it is the only paved road that serves the [[Tahquamenon Falls State Park]] and the [[Whitefish Point]] region. It is the major access to the state park and the [[Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum]] at Whitefish Point.Further east, M-123 changes direction at Paradise. On leaving Paradise in either direction, the highway is M-123 South. M-123 then extends south following [[Whitefish Bay]] and turning inland to its second junction with M-28 near Eckerman.<ref name="MDOT07">{{cite map |publisher=[[Michigan Department of Transportation]] |title=Official 2007 Department of Transportation Map |url=http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9622_11033_11151---,00.html |year=2007|scale=1&nbsp;in:15&nbsp;mi/1&nbsp;cm:9&nbsp;km |section= B9–D11}}</ref> Here at the junction in Eckerman is the east end of the Scenic Heritage Route designation applied to M-123.<ref name"SHR">{{cite web| url=http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9621_11041_11209-22895--,00.html |title=Scenic Heritage Routes |publisher=Michigan Department of Transportation| date=[[2007-11-09]] |accessdate=2008-08-15}}</ref>

[[Image:M123-H40.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The concurrency of M-123 & [[H-40 (Michigan county highway)|H-40]] in [[Trout Lake, Michigan|Trout Lake]]]]
From M-28 south, M-123 serves the Three Lakes Campground, a unit of the Hiawatha National Forest. At [[Trout Lake, Michigan|Trout Lake]], M-123 meets and merges with [[H-40 (Michigan county highway)|H-40]] across railroad tracks and through town before crossing into [[Mackinac County, Michigan|Mackinac County]] at the community of [[Ozark, Michigan|Ozark]]. Further south, the highway passes through the communities of [[Moran, Michigan|Moran]] and [[Allenville, MIchigan|Allenville]] on the way to its southern terminus at [[Interstate 75 in Michigan|I-75]] exit 352 north of [[St. Ignace, Michigan|St. Ignace]] in [[Rogers Park, Michigan|Rogers Park]].<ref name="MDOT07"/>

=== Tahquamenon Falls State Park===
{{main|Tahquamenon Falls State Park}}

[[Image:LightningVolt Tahquamenon Falls.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Tahquamenon Falls are a major tourist attraction along the route of M-123.]]
The Tahquamenon Falls State Park is a 46,179-acre (186.9 km²) [[state park]] in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the second largest of [[List of Michigan state parks|Michigan's state parks]]. Bordering on [[Lake Superior]], most of the park is located within [[Chippewa County, Michigan|Chippewa County]], with the western section of the park extending into [[Luce County, Michigan|Luce County]]. The park follows the [[Tahquamenon River]] as it passes over [[Tahquamenon Falls]] and drains into [[Whitefish Bay]], Lake Superior. The Tahquamenon Falls include a single 50-foot (15-meter) drop, the ''Upper Falls'', plus the cascades and rapids collectively called the ''Lower Falls''. During the late-spring runoff, the river drains as much as 50,000 gallons (200,000 liters) of water per second, making the upper falls the second most voluminous vertical waterfall east of the [[Mississippi River]], after only [[Niagara Falls]].

==History==
The construction of M-123 started in the 1930s near [[Eckerman, Michigan|Eckerman]], the location of the eastern M-28/M-123 junction. By 1930, M-123 is {{convert|10|mi|km|0}} in length and hard-surface paved. [[1954-05-15]] marked the first big extension of M-123 southward from Eckerman through [[Trout Lake, Michigan|Trout Lake]] to Rogers Park north of St. Ignace. Part of this routing in Trout Lake uses [[M-48 (Michigan highway)|M-48]] (now a portion of H-40). By 1957, M-123 would be extended northerly to a bridge over the Tahquamenon River, and on [[1962-05-18]] the final extension north to Paradise and south to Newberry is completed. From Four Mile Corner south, M-123 would replace [[M-117 (Michigan highway)|M-117]] to a new terminus at M-28 south of Newberry.<ref name="bessert"/>
