Serene Pond

Posted by Admin on September 7, 2012

From what we are hearing, the colors have begun south and west of Copper Harbor. We have not seen change yet – but we are typically the last to change in fall. We are still green and have late summer wildflowers blooming at this time!

Posted by Admin on July 22, 2012

Horseshoe Harbor is a great place to watch the sunset. The Hermit Thrush start singing when the sun starts getting low and continue through dusk. Make sure you bring a flashlight!

Some folks will ask if there are pools in Copper Harbor.
Well if you’re talking about a boring old pool filled with chlorinated water, no.
However, we do have the biggest, cleanest freshwater Lake in the world ~ Jump in!

Lake Manganese is a beautiful, pristine lake.

There is a short trail along the lake and it’s the location of the Red Trail-head

Wildflowers such as this Blue Flag Iris are abundant in spring.

Porter’s Island

Posted by Admin on March 21, 2012

Lake Superior’s level is very low right now. Porter’s Island is accessible by foot at this time. There are few places where you have to rock hop but it is do-able. The lake does experience sache, an effect like the tide. The level can change quite a bit in just a few minutes. One notices this especially when looking for rocks to step on!
