 Copper
Harbor is one of two ports in Michigan providing passenger ferry
service to Isle Royale National Park. It is the only island
park in the National Park system and also is the largest island
in the largest fresh water lake in the world. It is the
least visited of all the National Parks and offers a true wilderness
experience. Hiking and boating are the only means of travel,
as no vehicles are allowed on Isle Royale. The island
has over 150 miles of shoreline and numerous barrier islands
and fjord like bays that can best be explored in a sea kayak.

Our
kayak livery is convienently located next to the Isle
Royale Queen IV ferry dock. They will transport kayaks
on the ferry for a fee. |

Copper
Harbor is also located on the Keweenaw Water Trail. This
is an established route designed from a paddler's perspective
which will allow the circumnavigation of the Keweenaw Peninsula.
Unique to this trail is the ability to paddle a loop and return
to your point of origin without backtracking. The entire
loop can be covered by the average paddler in six to eight days,
but allow a few extra days for possibly being windbound.
This route is recommended for more experienced paddlers.
Sections of the water trail may be done as shorter day or overnight
trips.
