Things To Do
Estivant Pines Wilderness Nature Sanctuary
The Estivant Pines is the largest tract of old-growth Eastern White Pines preserved in Michigan. It contains hundreds of 300-500 year old white pines measuring anywhere from 3 to 5 feet in diameter!
Fall Colors
According to the local Chamber of Commerce, peak color season starts October 1st, the day after the wedding!
Horseshoe Harbor Hike or Bike
Drive to, and past the end of US Hwy 41. About a mile down the dirt Mandan Road, there will be a left hand turn for Horseshoe Harbor. Great place for a picnic!
Hunter's Point Park
Access is from the Copper Harbor Marina on M-26 or the parking area 3/10 of a mile west of the Marina off M-26 on North Coast Shores Road to Harbor Coast Lane, at the end.
Bete Grise Bay
Soft white Lake Superior sand... always good for a day on the lake!
Fort Wilkins State Historic Park
Built in 1844 on the rugged shore of Lake Superior, Fort Wilkins is a well-preserved example of mid-19th century army life on the northern frontier. 19 buildings survive, 12 of them original structures dating from the 1840's. Exhibits, audio-visual programs, and living history interpret routine military life and the hardships of frontier isolation http://www.keweenaw.info/memberProfiles/fort-wilkins-state-historic-park-176.html
Isle Royal National Park
One of America's few island national parks offers over 165 miles of hiking trails with a variety of options for trip length and difficulty. A unique wilderness experience for visitors accessible only by boat or seaplane with advance reservations required. No cars, no bikes, no pets!
Lake Fanny Hoe
Fanny Hoe is the closest "inland" lake to the wedding and all lodging accommodations. Nice and warm, good fishing, and calm water! Grab a kayak from Keweenaw Adventure Company and get the water!
Lake Manganese
Perfect for splashing around on a hot day or late night dips, this small inland lake gets real warm by the end of the summer and will be the swimming hole of choice come wedding weekend! Georgie has many fond memories splashing around here as a child and Jacob has learned to love it too!
Keweenaw Waterfalls
One of our favorite things to do in the Copper Harbor area is hunt for waterfalls! Some of our favorites are Manganese Falls, and Jacob's Creek Falls.
Keweenaw Adventure Company
Hit up these guys for some solid Copper Harbor adventuring! Rent sea kayaks, mountain bikes, and paddle boards, or get a guide to take you out for a few hours! Trustworthy company, five stars all the way!
Copper Harbor Trails Club
Join us in our favorite Copper Harbor pastime of shredding the 35+ miles of IMBA Silver Level mountain bike trails. The Copper Harbor Trails club maintains a system full of natural and man made features for human-powered non-motorized sports. It's worth the trip!
