Hike by the Lake in Cooper Harbor Michigan

Copper Harbor, Michigan

Description

Great hike to watch the sun rise in the morning.

The trail is not long but is my favorite. To get there from the stop light you head west away from town along the lake on the main road. The you'll come to a conservation office with docks and a launch ramp. The trail starts there and hooks around the lake to hunter point. Once you get to hunter point there are great views and beach. I would recommend taking a hammock and hanging out if you have time. I would also recommend that you do this trail early in the morning as you can see the sun rise up and it is very good view and perfect for taking pictures.
