Very scenic & picturesque. Checkout Fort Wilkins Historic State Park while you are there• A. E.

Go into a mine that was active & producing copper during the Civil War. Very impressive!• Delaware Copper Mine Tours: Self-guided tour of the Delaware mine. Lots of stairs & less polished than the Quincy mine, but still awesome to go underground & see the life of a miner.• Calumet Waterworks Park: Great beach park with great west views. Has both rocks & sand, so there is something for everyone. Look for agates, yooperlites, & fossils.• 5 Mile Point Road: Beautiful drive along the west shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Great for Fall colors.• Isle Royal: Take a ferry or seaplane from downtown Houghton or Copper Harbor to Isle Royal. This is not a quick day trip as the shortest ferry trip is 3.5h long.

Lots of agates!• Downhill Skiing: There are several downhill ski options in the area (Mt Ripley & Mt Bohemia). • Cross Country Skiing/snowshoe/mountain bike trails: The Keweenaw has many great trails that can be used year-round.
