1. Delaware Copper Mine Tours
Guided tours of this mine, 12 miles south of Copper Harbor along Highway 41, take visitors (wearing hard hats) 110 feet belowground for a 45-minute exploration (warm clothing is recommended). It's an authentic mine dating back to 1847 and veins of copper are still visible in what was once a highly active mining operation. Self-guided tours are also available. Aboveground, railroad enthusiasts will enjoy indoor and outdoor antique train displays, while animal lovers can visit a pen housing goats and deer.

2. Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary
Nature Preserve/Wildlife RefugePopular with bird-watchers, hikers, and anyone interested in flora and fauna, this 508-acre sanctuary is home to nearly 90 bird species, and 23 species of fern have been identified within its boundaries. But the biggest draw is the park's virgin white-pine forests, one of the last remaining stands in the Midwest, with 600-year-old trees up 150 feet high. In winter the three hiking-trail loops attract cross-country skiiers and showshoers.
