Copper Harbor is the most northern city in the state of Michigan, and it is definitely worth the drive! You get to experience a beautiful drive through the tunnels of trees and watch the forest open up to this lovely up-north town. Once you are in Copper Harbor pretty much all of the shops, restaurants, and places to stay are within walking distance, so it is perfect for a summer night walk to dinner and just to enjoy Pure Michigan. As you will notice in the locations below, most things are off of one main street in this little town 😉 P.S – just know you will have very little cell service!
