The community is located on U.S. Highway 141 and U.S. Highway 2, about six miles northwest of Iron Mountain, Michigan. It is near the south end of Railroad Lake of the Spread Eagle Chain of Lakes.
The lake chain was named "Spread Eagle" because when seen from the sky, the chain resembles an eagle with wings spread.[3] Spread Eagle has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[4] The Spread Eagle Barrens State Natural Area is located nearby. The Badwater Ski-Ters Water Ski Show performs during the summer.
