Eagle River turns Lake Superior’s drama into a daily backdrop—waves rolling in, copper-country history at your feet, and sunsets that stop conversation. As the county seat, it’s home to the stately Keweenaw County Courthouse, a touchstone of civic life and local lore. Just down M-26 are the photogenic cascades of Eagle River Falls and a sandy beach where families unwind. The area’s copper legacy is alive nearby at Keweenaw National Historical Park, while scenic drives toward Calumet and Houghton add art galleries, coffeehouses, and university energy to your everyday options.
Weekends here revolve around the outdoors: wave-watching in fall gales, starry skies in winter, and long summer evenings around a beach fire. Food lovers make a habit of lakefront dinners at Fitzgerald’s Hotel & Restaurant and maple-infused treats from The Jampot, a beloved bakery run by monks. Historic cottages, timber-frame homes, and modern builds share the shoreline and wooded ridges, offering choices from low-maintenance retreats to year-round residences.
Families are served by the Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium & Keweenaw, recognized for strong academics and athletics, with programs supported through regional partnerships. Higher education, research, and cultural programming thrive at Michigan Technological University, adding internships, events, and Huskies hockey to the calendar.
