Copper Peak

Copper Peak, the largest ski flying hill in the western hemisphere!

Located in Ironwood, Michigan, Copper Peak is the only ski flying hill outside of Europe.

While the Adventure Ride continues to draw in thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the views from the top of this unique attraction, plans are in the works to renovate and improve the location in order to host year-round ski flying events and training.

Our mission is to re-establish the peak as the western hemisphere’s biggest active ski jump and host Summer Grand Prix competitions that will showcase Northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as a global outdoor recreation destination.

Adventure Ride

Take the adventure ride all the way to the Top!  View the and unobstructed 360 degree view of Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula.  See the best vista in the region and take in the beauty of the North.

Black River National Scenic By-Way

Known for its spectacular waterfalls, idyllic beaches, scenic hiking trails and tranquil campground, the Black River Harbor Recreation Area and Scenic By-Way is a popular destination throughout the year. Originating in Wisconsin, the Black River flows through forested areas of large pine, hemlock and hardwood trees. The River has a series of scenic waterfalls as it drops in elevation to meet Lake Superior. Tannin (tanic acids)from hemlock trees is what gives it its unique color.

The Harbor offers one of the area’s few access points to Lake Superior, with boating being a major summer time activity. The boat ramp can accommodate almost any craft trailered in. There is no launching fee. Boat fuel and snacks are available through the concessionaire. Parking for trucks and boat trailers is ample.

Copper Peak is located within the Black River National Scenic By-Way
