Keweenaw Peninsula

Part of the upper peninsula of Michigan, USA, curving 95 km/50 mi into Lake Superior, largest of the Great Lakes of North America. Formerly very rich in copper, it is now primarily a resort area; other industries include timber processing, farming, and commercial fishing.

It is crossed by the Keweenaw Waterway and has boat connections to Isle Royale National Park in summer. It was a camp area for early explorers, trappers, and missionaries, and is now a summer resort region.
