Activity itinerary

Quincy Mine
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island. NOTE: This 52-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Keweenaw Copper Country in 5-6 hours.
Brockway Mountain Drive
  • 15m
I have a really great short side trip coming up that will take us to some great scenery from an elevated vantage point. It's less than 10 minutes each way and highly recommended. Let's go up Brockway Mountain and then we'll come back to the beach.
Copper Harbor
  • 30m
We're about to enter Copper Harbour, the gateway to Isle Royale and the last inhabited town on the Copper Island.
Eagle Harbor
  • 20m
Eagle Harbour, just ahead, was founded in 1844 right along a strip of pit mines that Indigenous Americans used to mine copper before settlers arrived. No roads went to Eagle Harbour when the copper boom really picked up, so everything had to be shipped in, including supplies and workers.
Eagle River Falls
  • 25m
We're about to drive past Eagle River Falls, one of the best waterfalls in the Keweenaw. You may be able to eke out the fall as you cross the river up ahead but its much nicer to park the car and go and go take a closer look.
Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary
  • 15m
Estivant Pines and it's one of the last old-growth white pine stands left in the state. You can think of it like the giant sequoias of the north if you'd like.
Fort Wilkins State Park
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
It was built in 1844 by the Army in order to keep the peace between miners and the Indigenous community.
Lake Superior
  • 20m
All the water we see along this drive is the result of fire and ice. An active volcano in the North American Mid-Continent Rift set the stage for Lake Superior.
Quincy Mine
  • 20m
Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island.
The Jampot
  • 50m
As you round the corner up ahead, you may already smell cinnamon and spice wafting towards you. That would be thanks to the Jampot which we'll see on our right.
