[ Make a Lodging Reservation ]
Welcome to the historic Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. A wilderness resort at the top of the Keweenaw, with a history that dates back to 1934, and is on the state and national historic registers.
Come stay with us in our log cabins, eat a meal at the Lodge, and enjoy the outdoor activities on the property and in the area, including our 9-hole golf course. Or plan an event at the Lodge, be it a staff retreat, a conference, or a wedding.
The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge was built under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1934, when FDR was the president of the United States and the country was going through the great depression. With it’s history and the character, the Lodge is on both the state and national historical register.

For accommodations, the resort has 24 cabins, with 26 units (several of the cabins have 2 units in them). We have 3-bedroom and 2-bedroom cabins, with several 1-bedroom cabins, situated in the wilderness. The cabins are lined along the first hole and the forest.

Water 💦 A resource that we value and monitor our usage of.
When we water the golf course, we continue to be aware of our usage and are constantly working to be more efficient with how we use this precious resource. It is part of our movement to become an Audubon Society sanctuary golf course.
Mother Nature has been testing use this summer on the golf course. We have had only 2.6 inches of rain since opening the course on June 1st for the 2022 golf season. With this little amount of rain, the golf course maintenance crew has stepped up at the Lodge to do a wonderful job to keep the course in good shape while still managing our water usage.
Regarding our watering source when it doesn’t rain, we get water from two sources: an 88 foot well on property and Lake Superior (piped 1.5 miles up the hill to the Lodge from the big lake).

Outreach is part of having an @idadarksky designation for the @keweenawdarksky park. One of the ways we promote dark sky awareness is through our educational classes. Since June 2021 The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge has offered a Night Sky Photo Work Shop every month. These classes discuss the equipment needed, camera settings, and the best locations for viewing.
To learn more about these workshops please visit the Events and Education section of our website.

The Overflow Trail has reopened! This iconic downhill trail originally opened in 2013 after the Copper Harbor Trails Club was chosen for a $100,000 @bellhelmets_bike Built Grant.
This summer the trail has been reworked with bigger berms, more dirt jumps and technical rock gardens. And yes, the Gap Jump and Manpants are still there and with improvements.
This project was a community effort. The Copper Harbor Trails Club (CHTC), the @keweenawmtnlodge, Grant Township, @rocksolidtrails and the Manders family worked together to get this done. A big thank you to all the businesses, families and individuals that support these projects through their time, volunteerism and money.
Let’s Ride!

The sun breaks through the clouds during the early evening yesterday. The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge is a wilderness resort at the top of the Keweenaw.
As the rest of the country is engulfed in a heat wave the Keweenaw Peninsula has remained relatively cool. Today’s high temperature was 67.5 degrees.

First day available, first usage of the Rivian Waypoint charger. All smiles from a VW owner, driving from Florida to the Keweenaw.

#keweenaw #copperharbormi #funjoyousadventuresome
Yesterday, @bay_electricinc installed and turned on a Rivian Waypoint electric vehicle charger at the Lodge. It is exciting to have an EV charger at the top of the Keweenaw to support our initiatives of being environmentally conscious and being a quiet stay resort.
We have worked with @rivianofficial the past year to put this charger in place (and to put a charger in Calumet). We are excited to partner with Rivian on this initiative, as our values and vision of focusing on wilderness and the environment fit both of our organizations.
In addition, EGLE and NextEnergy have been supportive in making this a reality.
Learn more about this project, and other projects we are working at the Lodge, by visiting our website.

Tuesdays With Tom – Morning Miles with KML Naturalist Tom Oliver
Join Tom, aka @theupwell, for an interpretive hike Tuesday Mornings at 10am. These hikes are open to people of all ages. Hikers should expect variable terrain that requires a moderate fitness level. Routes vary, but participants can expect to do anywhere between 2-4 miles. Discussions include plant and animal identifications, local geology, weather, and the use of nature apps. While these are social/educational hikes, quiet hikers tend to be more likely to experience interesting encounters; so, the nature hikes are a good opportunity to practice mindful quiet moments to listen for birds and animals.
The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge’s Naturalist, Tom Oliver, is also the Lodge’s Education and Events Specialist. Having grown up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, he is very familiar with the local fauna and flora and worked as a wildlife biologist for fifteen years in varying capacities across the country and with the Michigan DNR. Tom also taught high school science classes including biology, environmental science, and chemistry in Germany and South Korea for thirteen years. His combination of experiences provides participants of all ages and backgrounds a fun and rewarding experience connecting with the natural landscape of the Keweenaw. Â
Please be sure to bring water, snacks, and to wear clothing appropriate for the weather on the day of your hike. Other helpful items you might find helpful, include insect repellent and binoculars.
