The Porcupine Mountains, or Porkies, are a group of small mountains spanning the northwestern Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Ontonagon and Gogebic counties, near the shore of Lake Superior. The Porcupine Mountains were named by the native Ojibwa people, supposedly because their silhouette had the shape of a crouching porcupine. They are home to the most extensive stand of old growth northern hardwood forest in North America west of the Adirondack Mountains, spanning at least 31,000 acres (13,000 ha). The area is popular among tourists, especially Lake of the Clouds in the heart of the mountains, and is part of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.

  • 波丘派恩山(Porcupine Mountains)是位於密西根上半島西北部的小山,行政上隸屬於美國密歇根州昂托納貢縣和戈吉比克縣,靠近苏必利尔湖岸边。波丘派恩山名稱來自於当地的原住民欧及布威族,据说是因为其轮廓像一只蹲着的豪猪。波丘派恩山是19世纪的铜矿开采地。 (zh)

Les montagnes du Porc-Épic ont été appelées ainsi par les personnes indigènes d'Ojibwa, parce que leur silhouette a la forme d'un porc-épic. (fr)
