# Gladstone (US GDE)

The UN/LOCODE US GDE points to Gladstone, a small Little Bay de Noc community that once served the Soo Line's iron-ore dock at the head of Lake Michigan. That commercial chapter has closed — regular bulk cargo handling no longer takes place here, and the waterfront is now largely recreational. Forwarders with genuine freight to move in the area rely on neighbouring Escanaba and on Green Bay to the south.
