Copper Harbor is situated at the Keweenaw Peninsula’s northern tip. It is edged by Lake Superior and surrounded by a verdant forest. It’s reputedly fantastic for fall foliage because this highly praised lake town becomes a colorful kaleidoscope complete with forests that feature an assortment of deciduous trees and coniferous species as well. 

Enter the town via US-41, as the popular “Tree Tunnel” will be at its best. Here you can go hiking and even mountain biking among a colorful cornucopia and even enjoy a couple of waterfalls to boot. Try to schedule your visit sometime between late September through the middle of October to peek at the leaves at their transformative peak.
