Eagle Harbor - Just ahead is Eagle Harbor, established in 1844 along a strip of pit mines where Indigenous Americans mined copper before settlers arrived. During the copper boom, no roads led to Eagle Harbor, so everything, including supplies and workers, had to be shipped in.

Eagle River Falls - We are approaching Eagle River Falls, one of the finest waterfalls in the Keweenaw. You might catch a glimpse of the falls as you cross the river ahead, but it’s much better to park and take a closer look.

Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary - Estivant Pines is one of the last old-growth white pine stands remaining in the state. Think of it as the northern equivalent of the giant sequoias.

Fort Wilkins State Park - Constructed in 1844 by the Army to maintain peace between miners and the Indigenous community.

Lake Superior - All the water seen along this drive is the result of fire and ice. An active volcano in the North American Mid-Continent Rift paved the way for Lake Superior.
