Explore the Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan

/in , , , , , /by

Here is where the largest fresh waters on earth meet the rugged, ancient landscape to create the Keweenaw Peninsula. Escape into history and crimson fall colour. Hike, pedal and paddle countless miles of world-class outdoor recreation trails or our peaceful water byways gilded in fall colour.

Looking for something even more special? When night falls, the Keweenaw unfurls a sometimes-overlooked gift – the truest, deepest, and darkest skies left in the world. As the northernmost horn of the state of Michigan, the Keweenaw benefits from being geographically distant from larger cities and their glow.

The physical location of the Keweenaw also is very amenable to aurora and other celestial viewing – situated at a latitude of 47 degrees, this proximity to the North Pole allows for some of the best Northern Lights and star viewing in the contiguous United States.

Looking for somewhere to stay? The Laurium Manor Inn has been named Newsweek’s BEST Historical B&B in the United States in 2025!
