The Keweenaw is Michigan’s Copper Country. Here is where the largest fresh waters on earth create a peninsula called the Keweenaw. Where adventure falls from the sky, grows from the ground and springs from Lake Superior. The Keweenaw offers a rugged coastline that competes with that of the legendary Isle Royale, only without the ferryboat ride. It highlights a mixture of uninhabited wilderness areas, intermittent parks and nature preserves and sheltered harbors that offer the weary paddler the option for a hot meal, a hot shower or lodging at a comfy inn. The Keweenaw Water Trail is unique because it allows the ability to paddle a loop and return to your point of origin without having to backtrack. There is no need for two vehicles or shuttles for those paddling the entire route. The Keweenaw paddler can be totally self-sufficient. Lake Superior significantly controls the climate of the Keweenaw Peninsula, keeping winters milder than those in surrounding areas.
The entire route can be covered by the average paddler in 6 to 8 days, but you should allow a few extra days in your itinerary to compensate for being wind-bound. Gradually becoming more discovered, the Keweenaw Water Trail likely soon will be Michigan’s top paddling destination. In addition to doing the entire circumnavigation of the Copper Island, it provides plenty of opportunity for shorter overnights or day trips without compromising either scenery or safety. Paddlers should be familiar with potential landing sites along the route as steep, rocky shorelines or cliffs and private property issues can be encountered. Cold water temperatures cool the air in the summer and a 10-degree temperature difference from the inland temperature and should be expected.
