We spent Wednesday night at the Wall-mart in Houghton. Then Thursday morning we went to the Houghton City RV Park. It was one of the nicest RV parks we have camped in.
Here is a picture of our site in the park. Notice the blacktop parking and the view of the channel. It had full hookups and was only $23.00 a night.
This is the covered picnic tables and the bench to sit and watch the boats on the channel and the view across the channel. We have never had a campsite with covered a picnic table.
This is the west entrance to the channel it's about 10 miles west of Houghton.
View of the drawbridge across the channel to Hancock and the northern part of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Friday we took an 8 mile bike ride on the bike trail that runs along the channel. It is also a great trail, blacktopped and fairly level for the 4 miles out that we went. The trail then goes 3 more miles but is packed gravel, so we didn't take it.
This is one of the boardwalks along the bike trail. It's on the Nara River.
These were along the boardwalk. I don't know what they are called but they certainly added color to the area.
Another view along the walk way.
This is a view across the channel of the Hancock side and the ski lifts.
This is also a view across the channel of the abandon copper smelter. The mine was at the top of the hill. We left Houghton Monday and spent the night in the Marquette Wal-mart parking lot.
