    Before our tour, we were trying to imagine why a 52 mile drive would take 5-6 hours, but afterward, we realized it could have taken even more than that, so much to see and learn about! We started at 9am on a beautiful sunny fall day, and finished at 5pm, and we didn't do every stop. We took to calling our narrator "Bob", he was so fun to listen to, and very accurate with directions. We spent the most time at Quincy Mine, Eagle River Falls, JamPot, Eagle Harbor, and had lunch and viewed an amazing church on the Lake Linden detour - but by far the most impressive detour was Brockway Mountain, wow! We were too "toured out" to stop at the Life Saving Museum or Fort Wilkins, hopefully another time. We learned about pasties, and afterward we had some fantastic ones - first at Syl's Cafe in Ontonagon MI, and then at Copper Pasty just over the Wisconsin border in Ashland - we are fans!! Yes, "Bob", you inspired us to be part of the "adventurous bunch", thank you! Will definitely consider another audio driving tour.

    though I experienced a couple of technical difficulties, this was a very good experience, and I was able to see and do a lot of things I would not have otherwise seen. I learned a lot and saw some really cool things. I am glad I took this tour, it enhanced my Keweenaw experience for sure

    What to expect

    Quincy Mine

    Quincy Mine

    Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island. NOTE: This 52-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Keweenaw Copper Country in 5-6 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

    Duration 10 minutes
    Admission Admission Not Included

    Brockway Mountain Drive

    I have a really great short side trip coming up that will take us to some great scenery from an elevated vantage point. It's less than 10 minutes each way and highly recommended. Let's go up Brockway Mountain and then we'll come back to the beach.

    Duration 5 minutes
    3

    Copper Harbor

    We're about to enter Copper Harbor, the gateway to Isle Royale and the last inhabited town on the Copper Island.

    Duration 10 minutes
    4

    Eagle Harbor

    Eagle Harbor, just ahead, was founded in 1844 right along a strip of pit mines that Indigenous Americans used to mine copper before settlers arrived. No roads went to Eagle Harbor when the copper boom really picked up, so everything had to be shipped in, including supplies and workers.

    Duration 5 minutes
    5

    Eagle River Falls

    We're about to drive past Eagle River Falls, one of the best waterfalls in the Keweenaw. You may be able to eke out the fall as you cross the river up ahead but its much nicer to park the car and go and go take a closer look.

    Duration 5 minutes
    6

    Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary

    Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary

    Estivant Pines and it's one of the last old-growth white pine stands left in the state. You can think of it like the giant sequoias of the north if you'd like.

    Duration 15 minutes
    7

    Fort Wilkins State Park

    Fort Wilkins State Park

    It was built in 1844 by the Army in order to keep the peace between miners and the Indigenous community.

    Duration 30 minutes
    Admission Admission Not Included
    8

    Lake Superior

    All the water we see along this drive is the result of fire and ice. An active volcano in the North American Mid-Continent Rift set the stage for Lake Superior.

    Duration 20 minutes
    9

    Quincy Mine

    Quincy Mine

    Rising up on the hill in front of us stands Quincy Mine, one of the first major landmarks we'll pass that speaks to the interesting and somewhat turbulent mining history of Copper Island.

    Duration 20 minutes

    The Jampot

    As you round the corner up ahead, you may already smell cinnamon and spice wafting toward you. That would be thanks to the Jampot which we'll see on our right.

    Duration 50 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
