Adventures

copper peakCopper Peak
Copper Peak Is the world’s largest artificial ski slide, and the only one in the western hemisphere. A chairlift ride to the top of the hill, elevator to the observation deck, and 60 ft walk to the upper platform promises you the most panoramic views in the Midwest. This one of a kind adventure is worth the trip up North alone, something you won’t soon forget!

Adventure Mining Company
The Adventure Mining Company, located in Greenland Michigan, operates real mining tours of the once operational Adventure Iron and Copper Mine. The mine opened in 1850 and closed in 1920. It is the best preserved mining site of its age. The tours offer an insight into real mining, the way that it was. These range from adventure to educational levels and are available from late May into mid October.

fishingCharter Fishing Trips
Various charter fishing boats are available for full and half day trips on the Grand Lake Superior. Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, and Chinook Salmon are the primary sought after species. Sunset and custom cruises are also available. If you have not yet had this experience, you are not truly alive yet! Ask for our assistance to help you find a local guide.

Sight Seeing
Our rich and diverse heritage in the region has given way to many unique and historical land marks across the range. Some must sees are the World’s Tallest Indian, Hiawatha, the 52 foot tall staute, the Historic Ironwood Theatre, the Chicago and Northwest Railroad Depot, the Miners Memorial Heritage Park, and many Historical Society Museums.

The Water
It has been said that you cannot go more than 6 miles in any direction without finding a lake or river. That has got to tell you something. Of course Lake Superior is the largest fresh lake in the world, and its shores are varied with sandy beaches to jagged cliff lines layered with trees. The beauty and sheer size are unrivaled. Kayakers have taken a true love to the Superior Lake as it provides endless paddling oppurtunities.

kayakKayak
BPLA is located just a short drive from Lake Superior, the largest freshwater body in the world. The rugged, pristine shoreline varies from long sandy beaches to towering jagged cliffs lined with trees. Paddle up rivers to the base of beautiful waterfalls. The rushing water from the spring melt offers the kayaker a true whitewater experience. Whatever your paddling preference, you’ll find your favorite here.

fall colorsFall Colors
Don't miss the fall colors at Big Powderhorn. Four of the top ten "color spots" in North America are within a one hour drive from Big Powderhorn, one of which is a National Scenic Byway. The Black River Scenic Byway is located adjacent to Big Powderhorn so you need only to leave your cabin's driveway to experience one of the nation's most scenic drives.

The 12 mile drive takes you to five waterfalls, all with scenic overlooks and some with handicapped accessibility. The waterfalls are at their peak in the spring but flow all year long. You'll visit Copper Peak, the only ski flying hill in North America and eventually conclude your drive at the beautiful Black River Harbor. Here you will see the charter fishing boats, walk across the 80 foot long suspended foot bridge, and visit the harbor break wall extending 400 feet into Lake Superior. Bring your camera!

Hunters and fishermen make use of our cabins during their respective seasons.
