Keweenaw County, Michigan

Michigan’s northernmost county, Keweenaw, juts out into Lake Superior like a wild, rocky fist. It’s a place of rugged beauty and rich history. Lake Superior’s icy waters shape the climate, dumping heaps of lake-effect snow each winter.
Copper mining once fueled this remote peninsula, leaving behind ghost towns and abandoned shafts. Today, nature reclaims its territory. Thick forests blanket the land, hiding moose and black bears.
Adventure seekers flock here for world-class hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking. In autumn, the forests explode with color, drawing leaf-peepers from across the Midwest. Despite its isolation, Keweenaw County isn’t stuck in the past. A small but hardy population keeps local traditions alive.
