Worth a visit all year
I enjoy walking (or snow shoeing!) through the park at all times of the year and make a point of visiting at least once during our visits from England, about every six months or so.

Loved this park
My husband and I did the loop around Superior and stayed in one of the cabins in this park. I got great sunset pictures and we walked and walked the beach. Very clean area. Great spot and we are planning another trip to this park in Sept.

The Keweenaw Waterway Lighthouse is located near the park and one of the attractions of the area. |
