A gift shop in Copper Harbor

Copper Harbor is a small, unincorporated community (about 75 year-round residents) in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is within Grant Township in northeastern Keweenaw County, in the Keweenaw Peninsula that juts from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan into Lake Superior. The town's name alludes to the former use of its harbor as a port for shipping copper mined from local deposits during the mid-19th century. That economic activity no longer exists, and the town's harbor is most used for recreational use such as snowmobiling and for a ferry that connects Isle Royale National Park to northern Michigan.
