Eagle River, the county seat, is a tiny Lake Superior community with a historic 1866 courthouse. Copper Harbor sits at the very tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, a harbor town serving Isle Royale National Park ferries and mountain bikers, while Eagle Harbor and Ahmeek round out the mainland communities. Isle Royale itself — the remote island national park in Lake Superior — is part of Keweenaw County, and Brockway Mountain Drive climbs to a sweeping overlook above Copper Harbor.
