Copper Harbor, Michigan Bars

At the northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula that juts out into Lake Superior sits the tiny, unincorporated community of Copper Harbor, Michigan. Once a 19th century port used to ship copper, the town is now better known for recreation and tourism, as well as a ferry route to Isle Royale National Park. Another nearby destination is the Copper Harbor lighthouse. Although there is only one bar in the immediate area, you can find other options further south on route 41.
