Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness

Park

👍👍 Basically the best, most wild region of the already awesome Ottawa National Forest. Waterfalls, rapids, old growth, and miles of forest to explore. Definitely a favorite spot to go for an off-the-grid adventure!

5.00 (6 reviews) (~58.4 km from centre)

Huron National Wildlife Refuge

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Wild, rugged shoreline greets any visitors to this remote spot! The islands are teeming with rare wildlife, and explorers are only allowed on Lighthouse Island to prevent disrupting the birds who nest here. The lighthouse is a neat sight, as are the craggy cliffs and expansive views these beautifu...

Russell and Miriam Grinnell Memorial Nature Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 Arguably the best views on the Keweenaw from the top if Bare Bluff. The trail in from the parking area is an old two-track. After approx a half mike, you will enter the wooded area and come to a sign where the loop begins. For an easy/moderate hike go to the LEFT until you reach the top. It is a con...

Horseshoe Bay Beach

Tourist attraction

👍👍 It's a little bit of a hike back there, but the views are amazing. The rocks are worth the climb to get a look at the pools of water within them.

Hanka Homestead Museum

Museum

👍👍 Authentic untouched Finnish farm near Baraga and Pelkie. Makes you realize how lucky we have it now .

4.90 (50 reviews) (~26.15 km from centre)

Quincy Smelting Works

Museum

👍👍 Definitely worth the time and money. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Give you a sense of what early miners and their familys had to deal with. Work conditions are unbelievable.

James H. Klipfel Memorial Nature Sanctuary at Brockway Mountain

4.90 (41 reviews) (~60.07 km from centre)

Sturgeon Falls

👍👍 Steep hike, not child friendly, not stroller friendly . Best to have a good pair of hiking shoes and water, also a camera to take in the views.

4.90 (29 reviews) (~54.54 km from centre)

Holy Protection Ukrainian Catholic Monastery

Monastery

👍👍 On a small country road in the beautiful Keweenaw peninsula is a small store that sells the most exquisite cookies and tasty fruitcakes that you've ever tasted!! They also sell homemade jellies and jams! What a major find in the middle of no where! They are made by monks, and are not cheap, but oh,...

Brockway Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 Such a beautiful and pristine northern wilderness sanctuary! We spotted a bald eagle flying over the valley within five minutes of entering the preserve. Very peaceful, and the view from the top of the mountain is one of the best Great Lakes views you can get; in fact, it's the highest view you can...

4.90 (24 reviews) (~57.13 km from centre)

Echo Lake Nature Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Beautiful and remote area with great views! Echo Lake is peaceful and rugged. Large cliffs plunge deep into the lake to a depth of about 70' at the deepest point. Recommend climbing up the overlook trail and then heading out on the peninsula trail to relax. Plan on about 3 miles round trip from the...

Huron Island Lighthouse

Historical landmark

👍👍 Huron Island Lighthouse is in a wildlife refuge designated by President Roosevelt in 1905. The islands are remote - 3 miles offshore and a good haul from the nearest marina - and rugged. A wonderful day trip.

4.90 (8 reviews) (~47.7 km from centre)

Montreal Falls

Tourist attraction

👍👍 2023 UPDATE: this is a three hour round trip hike. This is one of the most incredible falls in the UP and it flows right into the big lake. You park by the first blue gate. Then walk twenty minutes to the second blue gate. Then walk thirty minutes to a large log wood gate (which was the only gate...

George Hite Dunes and Marshes Preserve

Park

👍👍 A fun place to stop and let the kids run. Lots of stairs to wear them out and lots of lake shore to explore. Ther are some smaller turnouts with grills that would be nice to stop for lunch or a sunset. The turnouts where only big enough for a car or pickup. If you have a trailer you wont fit.

👍👍 Nature's art work! Lake Superior, Calumet, MI, Keweenaw Peninsula!

Keweenaw National Historical Park Calumet Visitor Center

Visitor center

👍👍 What a great place! This visitor center is filled with information. With three stories(maybe four) to roam about, each level is filled with historical and interactive displays explaining the importance of mining to the people of the region. Small gift shop on the main level. When there do not he...

Black Creek Nature Sanctuary

👍👍 Incredible trails. Rocks on the beach are unmatched. I got lucky enough to have the whole shoreline to myself in early June. Don’t pass this place up!
