Brockway Mountain is a gorgeous lookout of Copper Harbor. Go all the way up the drive for even more views of Gitchi-Gami (Lake Superior)

Lots of hiking! Pictured is Horseshoe Harbor, one of our favorites. The Copper Harbor Trails Club is a great resource: CHTC

Copper Harbor is a mountain biking destination!! Stop by Keweenaw Adventure Company for details on Copper Harbors trail selection, and there are gravel trails for beginners around town!

In Calumet, Swedetown has great trails as well as Michigan Tech trails in Houghton!

There are a number of fishing charters in the area, Bella Vista Motel operates one. For shore fishing in Copper Harbor, the marina or waterfront by downtown are worth a shot! If you are staying at the Bella Vista they have some poles for guests.

We love bird watching (especially Kara)! Go on a hike and bring your binoculars and a bird identification book if you have one!

One of our favorite activities! In July huckleberries and blueberries should be ripe

Copper Harbor has great camping opportunities, check out:

- Trails End

- Fort Wilkins State Park

- Lake Fanny Hooe

Down the dirt road at the end of US 41 in Copper Harbor

- East Bluff

- High Rock Bay (dispersed camping, off road capable car needed!)

Bete Grise is Connor, Kara, and Ripley's favorite beach! Beautiful sandy public beach and a place to catch the sunrise :)

Great Sand Bay is another beautiful sandy beach close to Copper Harbor with good sunsets!

The water will be cold but less buggy in Lake Superior, if you are looking for warmer water also check out the inland lakes such as Lake Fanny Hooe or Lake Manganese in Copper Harbor.

Thimbleberry cake donut is where it's at!! Try some pannukkaku (Finnish pancake) too!

The Genny is the place for snacks, beer to go, and light grocery shopping. They also have a farmstand from Lake Effect Farm, the local Copper Harbor farm.

Great Copper Harbor Gift Shop!

Very "ok" beer :)

-Connor

Connor used to work here! Fun adventure outfitter with kayak tours, mountain bike rentals, bike shuttles, stand up paddleboard rentals.

Take a step back in time to an old military fort!

The Fitz has AMAZING FOOD & DRINK! Also a great sunset spot :) Make a reservation early because they will book up

Relax at the Nordic Spa! Wood fired pizza here as well :) Mount Bohemia is on the way to Bete Grise beach so make a stop!

Our favorite pasties! Get frozen ones to go from the back of the store

Amazing coffee! And super historic town. Connor's Great Grandpa Koopika played hockey in the colloseum 1,000 years ago!

Very cool and historic saloon. Don't forget to order the classic app... pickled eggs!

Cute gift shop in downtown Calumet!

Local brewer with great beer on tap and to go! They have a nice patio too :)

A delicious Finnish breakfast joint! Mini pasties and pannukkaku and nisu bread are excellent :)
