Much of the peninsula has been designated a national historic park, where one can find a rich treasure trove of turn-of-the-century architecture and other artifacts, and many interesting residents who keep the Keweenaw's rich spirit burning brightly with the many different museums, tours, and social clubs they maintain. If outdoor adventure is your interest, the Keweenaw also has some of the best boating, hiking, mountain biking, snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing between the Rockies and the Appalachians. Eagle Harbor is one of the more tranquil lakeside towns on the peninsula. In the summer, one hotel sells ice cream and the other has a very nice restaurant and cozy bar. There is a sand beach with a raft for those who love to swim Superior's clear waters. In winter, the ice in the harbor can change by the hour. Whatever season, the shifting view from Freshwater House's back windows or deck often reveal Lake Superior in one of her many awe inspiring moods. Copper Harbor lies 14 miles east along a scenic lakeside highway. There, you can find a microbrewery, several restaurants and gift shops, kayak and mountain bike rentals and tours, and a trail system that has made Copper Harbor one of the top five mountain biking destinations in the United States.
