I saw John mention going to the tip past Copper Harbor. Is this just trail 3 to 134? is there a trail off of 134 you need to take?

It's called the High Rock Trail. I don't think it actually has a number, but if you take 134 (highly recommended from Lac La Belle to Copper Harbor) you will see a turn off for it. It is also printed on the maps Keweenaw Trail Services puts out.

We always stay in Bergland so I am not too familiar with the areas north of the bridge. I know there is gas in Houghton, is there gas in CH? Where else north of the bridge is there gas? The plan is to do a 1 day trip up to CH by way of Gay, hit High Rock Point, lunch in CH, Brockway Dr and then back to Bergland.

Yes there is gas in CH. 7 days a week 9-6. Cash or Credit. Was just up there for 5 days. 100% pure gasoline. Make sure and bring a camera.

Gas in Lake Linden, Calumet, Gay, Allouez (turn the opposite way as you would to get to the Drift Inn), Phoenix (Vansville and Phoenix Store), Lac La Belle and Copper Harbor. Have a great ride and remember...What happens north of the bridge, stays north of the bridge!

Dang It.

That used to be our secret destination to ride and enjoy the lake.


It is beautiful. The ride is not like the old days of crossing streams etc. and finding your own path.

Similar to what we did but we started farther north in Toivola. Just remember 122 from Lake Linden to Gay is closed this year so you'll do some back tracking. Be sure to eat at Zik's in CH. This has become one of my new favorite spots this year. Easy to pull into a big place but don't miss the little spots across the street that a lot of guys just drive by.

Here's a few shots from the top of Brockway from 2/16/14.

Wow, what a difference a day makes Gary! On Monday, the visibility was down to around 100 feet in the open areas with heavy snow falling and winds gusting to 50-60 mph! We tried to beat the storm to get some shots, but the storm won!

I was thinking the same thing when I read your other post about your ride. We had planned to stay and ride a little in the morning then drive home on Monday but with the storm up there, and the predictions for snow all across WI we decided to leave late Sunday and drive home through the night.

have done it a few times deff doable. but much more fun to just pack a extra set of socks and skivvy's and spend the night at the mariner. head back the next day give u way more time to relax and enjoy your ride instead of just pushing to get it done.
