| "Your Adventure Starts Here" |
Keweenaw Adventure Company is Michigan’s northern-most bike
shop. Perhaps best described as an “outpost shop at the end
of the road”, we specialize in the needs of
the travelling cycling enthusiast. Our qualified mechanics and basic selection of parts and
accessories will keep you rolling during your visit to Copper Harbor. Or you can expereince
some of the Midwest's best singletrack trails on one of the industry's best
mountain bikes from Kona, Marin and Cannondale.
We have maps and are the local
experts when it comes to sharing trail information...our staff
spends countless hours of volunteer time each season helping to build
and maintain the trails and know them better than
anyone! Learn more about the Copper Harbor Trails
Club and how you can help to support the
human-powered trails at www.copperharbortrails.org
Centrally located in
“downtown” Copper Harbor, the trailheads are all
located within easy riding distance of our shop and the village
limits. Copper Harbor has a well-established network of over 25
miles of designated, marked and mapped singletrack trails that include
some of the most unique, scenic and challenging mountain biking in all
of Michigan. In addition to these trails, miles and miles of
logging roads and jeep trails traverse the uninhabited tip of the
Keweenaw Peninsula, with access to remote Lake Superior shorelines, State forest
and conservancy lands.
The terrain of the Keweenaw Peninsula
surrounding Copper Harbor is mountainous
by Midwestern standards and has some of the highest
vertical elevation (up to 900’) between the Appalachian and the
Rocky Mountains! Scoured away by the glaciers over
10,000 years ago, the rocky, rugged terrain of exposed bedrock,
spiny ridge-lines and undulating valleys left behind offer a “genuine”
mountain biking experience unlike anywhere else in this
part of the country. Combine this
with rugged Lake Superior shoreline, the enchanted northwoods “Boreal
Forest”, ideal climate for riding in
the summer, surealistic fall color season and genuine U.P hospitality, the Keweenaw is a
premier destination for a mountain bike vacation. |
