Things To Do

There is much to see and do on the Keweenaw Peninsula. In addition to exploring the history of copper mining, numerous recreational opportunities are available in the area. In the summer hiking, canoeing, kayaking fishing, camping and biking are popular activities. During the winter, the normally abundant snowfall make this a prime area for snowshoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling. For information on area attractions and activities visit the Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau website.

Information Desk at Quincy Mine

During the summer season, Keweenaw NHP operates an information desk in the Quincy Mine Gift Shop. Here visitors can obtain information about the tours, local history or the general area. The copper timeline is featured in this area. Please note that staffing can be intermittent. Visitors are free to explore the expansive grounds of the Quincy Mine, though underground mine tours are part of the paid admission through the Quincy Mine & Hoist.
