The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge and Golf Course Complex, which opened on June 23, 1935, was conceived and constructed during the Great Depression years of the 1930's. One of hundreds of public works projects sponsored by the federal government at that time, unemployed copper miners were re-employed to clear the land on which the Lodge and its golf course now reside. The trees that were cut were used to construct the main lodge and

guest cabins. These hand hewn log structures have been carefully preserved for almost 70 years, and are a rare and unique step back in time. Copper Harbor lies one mile north by car on US41 or at the far end of the walking trails leading from the Lodge. The newly added conference center adds a 280-person event facility.

Eagle River became the county seat in 1861 followed by the building of a courthouse in 1866. Even after remodeling in 1925, the formality of the courthouse, preserved in its original appearance, attests to the prosperity of the mining era. The sheriff's residence and jail followed in 1886. Even today, the sheriff's family lives in a pleasant home attached to the jail and prisoners enjoy the good food prepared by the sheriff's wife. Bridges straddling the

Eagle River are favorite stops to view the vast expanse of Lake Superior on one side and, on the other side, splendid trees with a cascading waterfall. The bridge built in 1915 was converted to pedestrian use when the adjacent timber bridge opened 1990. Primarily made glue-laminated timber arches, the new bridge aesthetically blends into the surrounding environment and was an ideal choice for such a scenic location.
