Ever since we were kids, we all knew that’s where the hidden treasure was. A treasure that could be virtually anything, and was always as big as our imaginations. To find such riches today, all we need to do is follow the roads that lead to the Keweenaw Peninsula. The treasures you’ll take home are Pure Michigan. Fall color season in the Keweenaw is one of the best-kept secrets of the Upper Midwest. The hills come alive with bold and brilliant color created by the special mix of sugar maples, birch and oaks of the northern forests. Late September to mid-October is an excellent time to tour the Keweenaw and enjoy the roads that wind through the colorful landscape. Brockway Mountain Drive is a definite must see. You can also get right into the midst of the color along one of the many hike or bike trails located on the Keweenaw. Fall brings warm days, cool nights and spectacular color alongside brilliant blue skies and majestic Lake Superior. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Palatine,+IL+60067/Bond+Falls+Flowage/Porcupine+Mountains+State +Park,+33303+Headquarters+Rd,+Ontonagon,+MI+49953/Copper+Harbor,+MI/Munising,+MI/Pictured+R ocks+National+Lakeshore,+Grand+Marais,+MI+49839/Palatine,+IL+60067/@46.0640471,88.0469443,5z/am=t/data=!4m44!4m43!1m5!1m1!1s0x880fa4574d47068f:0x762915cb2df20e51!2m2!1d88.0607565!2d42.1112958!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d56971b56384b47:0xc620ad926f6aa5a9!2m2!1d89.1041639!2d46.3925723!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d56344b41d98a8d:0xf18f173af5d244c4!2m2!1d89.713725!2d46.784764!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d5a83ab442ba0eb:0xca056ee77d4c790c!2m2!1d87.8903203!2d47.4683113!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d4e89267f163487:0xa44d979d2aa6f54b!2m2!1d86.6479361!2d46.4110574!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d4ec3f59bef320b:0xe480b3c31e71eb18!2m2!1d86.409051!2d46.517873!1m5!1m1!1s0x880fa4574d47068f:0x762915cb2df20e51!2m2!1d88.0607565!2d42.1112958!3e0 Page 2 of 17 Pure Michigan 2014 Page 3 of 17 Pure Michigan 2014 Bond Falls State Park 46.4088°N 89.1329°W Bond Falls is a 50-foot high waterfall of the Ontonagon River. The river drops 875 feet down from Bond Falls Flowage, which is perched on the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, to Lake Superior. Bond Falls is a natural waterfall, but it has been enhanced by a nearby dam built by the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO). There is a rest-area park below the dam and waterfall, from which the falls can be admired. The Ontonagan River and Bond Falls Flowage are separately stocked with brook trout. This is the best single waterfall in the Western U.P, and the second best waterfall in Michigan. If you are in the Western U.P., possibly on your way to or from the Porcupines or Copper Harbor, this is a definitely worth a stop. Bond Falls is in the western U.P. on Bond Falls Rd, east of Pauding MI. This is the most impressive waterfall in Michigan with the possible exception of Tahquamenon Falls. The main drop is 40 feet high and 100+ feet wide. Above the main falls are a series of cascades and rapids that must drop a total of 20 feet. The water level is controlled by a dam, and a steady flow over the falls is maintained for scenic reasons. Of course during the spring melt the flow is much higher. Bond Fall is a Michigan State Scenic Site. The site was renovated around 2003. The old parking area was upstream of the falls, and a steep concrete stairway led to the base of the falls. The new parking area is near the base of the falls, and a level boardwalk leads you to prime views of the falls. The area is not quite as wild looking as it once was, but it is accessible to everyone. The trail on the east side of the falls is still wild with some steep rocky climbs. There are other trails that go off into the woods, and there are campsites nearby. In addition to being very picturesque, this is a very popular waterfall, and unless you visit early in the morning or in winter, you are going to have a lot of company. West UP – Bond Falls Bond Falls is one of those "best kept secret" spots on the Western Upper Peninsula that you want to make sure you do not miss. This beautiful water fall is located on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River near Paulding. Although it does not get the "press" of more famous U.P. water falls, Bond Falls has a large following of admirers and had even been part of a calendar listing the most scenic natural places in the world!

Or, you can do the circle tour and continue down the other side of the mountain back onto M-26 for a beautiful drive back to Copper Harbor along Lake Superior. The top of the mountain is a superb spot for a sunset. Because of the darkness (no electricity up there) it is also an ideal spot for stargazing and catching the Aurora Borealis aka Northern Lights if they are making an appearance. Brockway Mountain is an unusually good location to view and survey the spring migration of birds of prey aka: Raptors, along the Central Migration Flyway. It has been recognized as an IBA (Important Bird Area) by the National Audubon Society due to the number of raptors and other migrating birds that take that path. The summit of Brockway Mountain is part of the Keweenaw Coastal Wildlife Corridor owned by Eagle Harbor Township. The summit is home to the Brockway Mountain Hawk Watch, organized by Copper Harbor Birding and Copper Country Audubon and aspiring to continue the study over several consecutive years in order to obtain the long-term data necessary for comprehensive analysis. The drive opens in the spring when the snow is gone from the road and closes in late fall when it becomes part of the snowmobile trail system.

Our mixed woodlands featuring a variety of deciduous trees blended with an abundance of coniferous species deliver a stunning color show in autumn. The “Tree Tunnel” US-41 coming into Copper Harbor is literally jaw dropping in the fall. Due to our location; being surrounded on 3 sides by Lake Superior, our color season is later than places south of us. This is important to know, as we peak a couple weeks later than other UP towns. Do some berry picking in the fruiting season. The relatively unexplored area surrounding Copper Harbor could yield a nice berry patch. There are only a few places that the Thimbleberry plant calls home and one is here! The berries are one of the local favorite wonders. Fresh, clean air and scenic beauty abound.
