I'm a native of Houghton, MI, now residing 'way out west. Any trip back to the U.P. and the beautiful Copper Country must include a drive to Copper Harbor, a trip to the top of Brockway Mountain, and a stroll though Fort Wilkins on the shore of Lake Fannie Hooe. A drive along the Lake Superior shore will bring you past Great Sand Bay, through Eagle Harbor (where you'll find a store that first opened during Lincoln's presidency,) on past Jacobs Falls and Eagle River, through Calumet. Yes!
Our family is headed up to the UP the first part of June - our first visit up there. We are staying in Marquette but would like to make a day trip over and up to Copper Harbor. Great video and thank you for it. I see there is a ferry that runs up to Isle Royale National Park. Are there any other boat excursions that run out of Cooper Harbor or nearby? It is fascinating to see Manitou Island way up there. We visited South Manitou Island a few years back... are there any tours or boat trips to the lighthouse?
Thank you dear I will move to Ann arbor from NYC

Nice. Marquette NMU,...Laurium...Calumet..Copper Harbor...sic memories of youthful years..
Looks just like Down East Maine.
We've heard that before. Many people say the Lake Superior shoreline here is very similar, but without the salt smell. It's an amazing place!!

The closest airport is Houghton County Memorial in Hancock about 1 hour away from Copper Harbor. Visit houghtoncounty. org
thinking of planning a trip in the fall. what is generally peak time for leaves?
We usually see peak around the 2nd weekend in October, it does vary though. You'll see color starting at the end of September.
Copper Harbor cool we're going to be up there around October 8-10
