Keweenaw
Adventure Company's 14 passenger van operates as a shuttle
service between Copper Harbor and other locations around
the Keweenaw Peninsula. Whether you're into downhill runs
on your mountain bike, need a ride for a point to point
kayak trip along the Keweenaw Water Trail or have a wedding,
family reunion or other event at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge
Conference Center, our drivers can provide a lift to get
you, your gear or your guests to where you need to be.

Mountain
Bike Downhill Shuttle Runs: Because
there is no ski area with a charlift in Copper Harbor, the
KAC shuttle is the next best way to get you and your mountain
bike to the top of the mountain without having to pedal!
An activity that is most commonly associated with ski resorts
out west, mountain bikers enjoy bombing down Copper Harbor's
sustained vertical descents along the miles of sweet singletrack
that connect the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge, Brockway Mountain and the village,
over 550' and up to 3 miles below. While most of the
trails are cross country trails and involve some pedaling,
the new "Downtown" trail is a black-diamond rated downhill specific trail that will push riders (and their suspensions) to their technical limits.
The 2011
mountain bike shuttle runs every Saturday and Sunday from
Noon-5:00pm (May 28 - at least October 16) and Tuesday evenings from 5:30-9:30pm (June 7 - August 30)...that's a 55 day season for downhill mountain bike action! The shuttle completes a round trip between the shop and
the Mountain Lodge or Brockway Mountain every 15-20 minutes.
Shuttle runs are available during the week and morning or
evening hours on the weekends by reservation and/or depending
on the availability of staff and the van...additional fees
may apply.
The cost is $6 per run; $18 day pass or $155 season pass per person.
Point
to Point Shuttles: Whether you need to be dropped
off or picked up for a point to point sea kayak tour, bicycle
or backpacking adventure or need group transportation to
or from the Houghton County Airport or other area location,
our shuttle van can be chartered for most any occasion.
All point to point shuttles are scheduled by reservation.

Weddings,
business conferences, reunions and events:
Keweenaw Adventure Company offers group transportation between
Copper Harbor and the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge for any such
occasion. Being that parking is limited at the Lodge and
that you will want to ensure that your guests have a safe
ride back to any of the motels in the Harbor after consuming
a few adult beverages, consider chartering our van for any
type of get together. The van has a capacity to haul up
to 14 people at a time and can average 3-4 trips/hour between
the Lodge and the village. Charters are scheduled by reservation
at a flat rate of $65/hour.
