Explore the Keweenaw

Beach/Swim

Isle Royale

You might know Isle Royale as the only national park in Michigan. You might not know that it's also the least-visited and the most revisited national park in the entire system.

Birdwatching

Black Creek Sanctuary

Rich in wildlife and local flora, Black Creek Nature Sanctuary is hard to find but worth the trouble.

Hike

Keweenaw Point Trail

The Keweenaw is famous for its world-class hiking and mountain biking. Buckle up your big-kid pants and test your mettle on the Keweenaw Point Trail.

Beach/Swim

Eagle River

The shoreside hamlet of Eagle River is like a Keweenaw "sample platter," collecting all the peninsula's best elements in just under 6 square miles.

Hike

Mount Baldy

Ask any local about the best hike in the Keweenaw, and odds are good they'll recommend Mount Baldy.

Beach/Swim

Lake Medora

With its curvaceous shoreline and wealth of hidden inlets, Lake Medora is known as one of the best fishing lakes in the Keweenaw.

Birdwatching

Brockway Mountain

Located just off the northernmost stretch of US-41, Brockway Mountain drive is only 10 miles long, but traveling it may take you up to an hour with all the pull-offs to take in the scenery of the surrounding shoreline, woodlands, and lakes.

Beach/Swim

High Rock Bay

The Keweenaw's reputation as the "end of the world" probably came from a visit to High Rock Bay.

Hike

Manganese Falls

On an island full of beautiful waterfalls, Manganese Falls is not only one of the most unique, but also holds the distinction of being the last waterfall before you reach the tip of the Keweenaw.

Hike

Estivant Pines

Despite the buzz of ATVs along the adjoining roads, a reverent hush pervades this boreal forest sanctuary.

Beach/Swim

Hunter’s Point

This rocky point serves as the western arm of the harbor that gives Copper Harbor its name.

Beach/Swim

Esrey Park

Fair warning: a "quick" pull-over stop could turn into spending all day at this magical coastal green space.
