Visitors to the top of the Keweenaw Peninsula have called Copper Harbor "the absolute best of the Lake". You will love the views, from Lake Superior’s rugged shoreline to the top of Brockway Mountain. Every season offers something new, all breathtakingly beautiful. Outdoor recreation, tours, history, geology, great shops and restaurants all combine in a scenically stunning locale. Take time to see it all!

A trip to Copper Harbor is off the beaten path, but that's what makes it nice. It's also the Gateway to Isle Royale National Park. The Isle Royale Queen IV takes visitors to the cherished island 50 miles away in about 3 hours.
