The trail to Copper Harbor

A challenging and scenic bike trail leading to Copper Harbor.

Took a day trip to Copper Harbor via route 41 and the colors were just starting to change in early September. Unfortunately most of the places in Copper Harbor were closed for the season. However, if you are interested in collecting various types of rocks or pottery. Stop by Prospectors Paradise on 41 /26 just north of Calumet in the township of Allouez. It is not a tourist trap but a fun adventure and the owners are great to talk with.

If you value expert knowledge from tour guides, this underground mine visit is worth three hours of your time! He covered tons of technical details about the operation of the equipment, the history of the copper mining industry and life in the Upper Peninsula AND, he loved fielding all of the questions raised by everyone on the tour. One of the best tour guides we have ever had lead us!

McLain State Park

Reviewed By Northerngirlnomore - Eau Claire, United States

Great park to stop and stretch your legs after a long drive. There are steps down to the beach area. You can walk out on the break wall, many were swimming the day we visited. There are some pretty rocks along the shore, but it is mostly sandy. There are several picnic areas and a campground. There are benches and picnic tables. We had a picnic lunch under the pines. Well worth going off the beaten path to visit!
