xtending out into the deep waters of Lake Superior at the very tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula sits Copper Harbor, the northernmost permanently populated community and northernmost point of mainland in the state of Michigan. Here, snow falls 80 days out of the year between October and May, with annual accumulations averaging 22 feet. Over 230 miles of pristine trails link riders to an additional 2,500+ miles through the Upper Peninsula. It is a snowmobilers or ATV enthusiasts dream come true.
