COPPER HARBOR

"Wild, beautiful, un-crowded, unspoiled, peaceful."

The Harbor is all these things.  For adventures off the beaten path, the Harbor offers:

  • At your doorstep, the greatest of our inland seas - Superior...the deepest, coldest, cleanest, largest.  For sail and power boating with available tie-ups and a completely equipped state-operated marina.

  • Deep water fishing for the mighty Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, and delectable Whitefish.  Large and small inland lakes and streams for Brook and Rainbow Trout, Perch, Muskie and Northern Pike.  Call for information regarding charters for fishing and scuba diving.

  • Trails, woods, fields and hills for hiking, camping, mountain biking and skiing.  An abundance of wildlife to watch:  Deer, beer, coyote, waterfowl.  A vivid September color season.  A brilliant skyfull of stars and on many evenings, the fascinating, captivating Northern Lights.

  • Golfing - a very unusual and challenging nine holes at the county operated Keweenaw Mountain Lodge.

  • Snowmobiling in a winter Paradise - 250 miles of beautifully groomed trails.  Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing.  Plus downhill skiing at the Midwest's best, Mount Bohemia.  The same lake effect that keeps us cool in the summer, keeps us warmer in winter than our neighbors to the west and south and contributes to deep snowfalls, usually totaling more than 240 inches a year.  This winter do something different.

  • Distinctive shops for gifting, no two alike!  Items crafted locally and from around the world:  items historical and antique.  Three museums, and agate shop and some of the worlds best rock-hounding beaches if  you'd rather fin your own.

  • And, not of least importance:  Peace, quiet, tranquility, for thinking, introspection, rest and just plain loafing.
