The whole Keweenaw Peninsula is your trail, since you don't have to worry about groomed trails and established pathways. The most frequently visited and best known area (NO snowmobiles allowed) is the Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary just south of Copper Harbor. If you prefer marked trials, then also check out our map page. To snowshoe unmarked areas of the wilderness, be prepared and use common sense. The first prerequisite is preparation for winter warmth and dryness. You also need to know all the rules of winter survival in the wild in case you are out longer than you anticipated, or need help getting back. This is WILDERNESS--not something to take lightly.
The Brockway mountain entrance is on the west end of town just as M26 leads you out of Copper Harbor.
