Copper Falls
About
Copper Falls is a waterfall in Keweenaw County, Michigan, sitting at about 993 feet. The nearest town is Eagle Harbor, about 2.5 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Copper Harbor weather station show July and August highs around 72°F with lows in the upper 50s, and the falls sit a few hundred feet higher than that station, so temperatures there run a little cooler. Several cross-country ski routes lie within about a mile and a half, including Clark's Sand Bay Trail, Great Sand Bay Loop and Shadow's Shortcut. For hiking, the Nicole Bloom Memorial Trail is about 2.2 miles away.
