Best places in Keweenaw County to visit (UPDATED November, 2023)

Scenic spot

👍👍 Beautiful views of Copper Harbor! So glad there is a road to drive up there! Lots of paths for walking. I didn't walk on any of them.

Fitzgerald's Restaurant

Restaurant

👍👍 This restaurant is pure bliss. You cannot get any closer to the shores of Lake Superior while dining. They have a lovely balcony and small inside seating area. If you don’t feel like you’re in heaven when here, not sure what else would. Definitely worth a stop, or a stay (at the hotel).

Eagle Harbor Lighthouse

Historical place museum

👍👍 The view from the window in the tower was incredible... So much history ... The crystal clear water and breathtaking seascape makes you feel like you're in a tropical oasis but it's chilly superior style instead. See the lighthouse it's incredible.

1st Street Beach Manistee, Michigan

Beach

👍👍 Nice they have shelters here you can sit out of the sun and eat lunch, while basking in the views of the lake and pier. Lake Michigan is gorgeous here, and it’s worth it to take a stroll after lunch to the pier and walk it, or to the concession area and bathrooms just to the south.

Eagle Harbor Inn

Restaurant

👍👍 We were cycling by and stopped for lunch. Immediate seating at the bar. Nice menu with lower prices that I expected. We had a portabella mushroom sandwich and lake trout filet sandwich. Both excellent. The lake trout was broiled and it’s flavor almost too delicate for a sandwich. Fries were excellen...
