Welcome to the historic Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. A WPA-era 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.
For accommodations, the resort has 24 cabins, with 27 units (three 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 of the golf course and the forest.
The resort sits in the wilderness in a beautiful part of the country. Our location at the top of the Keweenaw allows for individuals to enjoy many outdoor activities for all four seasons of the year. These outdoor activities include mountain biking, golfing, hiking, trail running, and disc golf in the warmer months, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during the snowy months. As well, provide a hub for fall color exploring and bird watching at the top of the Keweenaw. And year-round, we provide opportunities for stargazing being that we are the headquarters for the Keweenaw Dark Sky Park.
Join us on Thursday evening in our banquet room to hear about our International Dark Sky Park designation and the light management guidelines that are followed at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge.
The golf course is now closed for the 2022 season.
Saturday, October 15th, was the last day of the 2022 golf season. We had a wonderful golf season, with outdoor enthusiasts enjoying the fun.joyous.adventuresome atmosphere of a resort course in the wilderness. The Outdoor Activity Center (OAC) and golf course maintenance crews did an excellent job providing a unique experience for people playing the historic wilderness course, especially since we had a dry summer.

Now we put the golf course to sleep for the winter and turn our focus to winter activities at the Lodge: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and more....
Fall colors are in prime season right now. You will find many microclimates across the Keweenaw Peninsula where the fall colors progress at different rates. Certain areas will reach their “peak” at different times.

A mother crane and it’s chick make their way across Hole 9 on the golf course. A young crane leaves the nest within a day after hatching. Both parents feed young at first, but young gradually learn to feed themselves. Age of first flight is about 65-75 days. Young remain with parents for 9-10 months, accompanying them in migration.
The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge would like to welcome the Singletrack Flyers for their annual end-of-season picnic. Congratulations to all the kids and their parents on a successful summer learning mountain bike fundamentals!
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).
