Copper Harbor, Michigan is named for the area’s rich history of copper mining, which dates back to an ancient people as far back as 7,000 years ago. The copper rush hit in the 1840’s when the land was officially ceded to the US Government, and several small towns popped up around the industry. Today, the small town on Lake Superior is a destination for those whole love the fresh air and year-round outdoor adventure. Copper Harbor is home to one of the world’s best single-track trail systems, and is the gateway for trips to Michigan’s only national park, Isle Royale.
