Brockway Mountain Drive

Reviewed By DYAN55

We’ve been up here before, and it truly does not disappoint. If you go for sunset, arrive early for your spot, bring chairs, snacks, blanket as it can get cold and a camera for sure. We went twice this visit, one early evening and it was a zoo, people looking for spots to park, second visit was mid afternoon on a beautiful, but windy day. We had more time to enjoy without all the people walking around looking for the right picture angle. The mountain has two drives one headed towards Eagle Harbor, one towards Copper Harbor, this one is the cool twisty one and has a great overlook about half way, City of Copper Harbor and beyond, really a gorgeous view, don’t pass this by!

High Rock Bay

Reviewed By Roeskar - Wisconsin, United States

High Rock Bay is such a beautiful destination! It is certainly a challenge to get there, requiring patience and a good eye on the road/trail to make sure you don't damage your vehicle. I have been there many times in a 4x4 Suburban and have never had any issues, but you really have to pay attention! I have also been there many times on my adventure motorcycle, my preferred method of getting there. I wouldn't recommend trying it with a conventional car as you will bottom out in places, and there is usually a lot of water standing in the pot-holed road/trail. I've seen many four-wheelers and UTV's go there as well and that looks like great fun. Its not just the destination, but the journey! The views of the lake and of Manitou Island are beautiful, and walks along the rocky beach are a good way to stretch your legs before journeying back to Copper Harbor. Pack a lunch and have a picnic. Even though its cold most of the year, we usually take a dip in the lake if its a sunny day. They don't call it the Cold Water Caribbean for nothing!
