"Your Adventure Starts Here"

"Copper Harbor Singletrack Rocks!!!". These words are commonly heard about mountain biking in this Upper Peninsula mountain bike paradise.

Designated in 2009 as an IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association) "Epic Ride", our world-class trail system is now recognized as being some of the best of the best...something the locals have known for quite some time! This designation was more recently trumped with the October 2012 designation of the Copper Harbor Trails as a "silver level" IMBA "Ride Center" ranking among the top five trail systems in the world due to our variety of gateway, cross-country, flow and gravity trails, in addition to being a mountain biker friendly community!

Kewenaw Adventure Company is Michigan’s northern-most bike shop. Perhaps best described as an “outpost shop at the end of the road”, we specialize in the needs of the travelling cycling enthusiast. Our qualified mechanics and essential selection of parts and accessories will keep you rolling during your visit to Copper Harbor.  Or you can expereince some of the world's best singletrack trails on one of the industry's best mountain bike rentals from Kona & Trek.

More than just a bike shop, we have built our reputation as advocates, trail builders, mountain bike fanatics and folks who like to have a good time with our involvement with the Copper Harbor Fat Tire Festival (always the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend) since 1994. As the "soul center" of the Copper Harbor mountain bike scene, we have maps and are the local experts when it comes to sharing trail information. Our staff loves to ride and also spends countless hours of volunteer time each season helping to support the trails...we know them better than anyone!  Learn more about the Copper Harbor Trails Club and how you can help to support the human-powered trails at www.copperharbortrails.org

   Centrally located in “downtown” Copper Harbor, the principal mountain bike trailhead is conviently located right across the street from our shop, behind the Welcome Center. Copper Harbor has a well-established network of over 25 miles of designated, marked and mapped singletrack trails that include some of the most unique, scenic and thrilling mountain biking in upper Michigan. In addition to these trails, miles and miles of logging roads and jeep trails traverse the uninhabited tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, with access to remote Lake Superior shorelines, State Forest and conservancy lands.

Riding amidst October's glory!

The Keweenaw Peninsula's terrain surrounding Copper Harbor is mountainous by Midwestern standards and has some of the highest vertical elevation (up to 900’) between the Appalachian and the Rocky Mountains! Scoured away by the glaciers over 10,000 years ago, the rocky, rugged terrain of exposed bedrock, spiny ridge-lines and undulating valleys left behind offer a “genuine” mountain biking experience unlike anywhere else in this part of the country.  When combined with the energy and awe of Lake Superior , the enchanted northwoods “Boreal Forest”, cool summer temperatures, surealistic fall colors and down-to-earth U.P. hospitality, Copper Harbor is a premier destination for a mountain bike vacation which has more recently been regarded as some of the best anywhere in the world!
