Miners Park

Miners Memorial Heritage Park– MMPH encompasses the former iron ore mining locations within the City of Ironwood. The discovery of these mines resulted in the establishment of the City of Ironwood in the latter part of the 19th century. The last iron ore mine in the City of Ironwood closed in 1966.

Non-motorized trails can be used for activities including hiking, biking (a brand new state of the art trail system coming soon), running, walking, snowshoeing, and cross county skiing, while providing safe corridors between many locations within the City of Ironwood and the opportunity for regional trail connections. Miners Memorial Heritage Park provides a unique attraction for residents and tourists alike!


Coming Soon 2023!

The City of Ironwood is has been awarded $300,000 ($400,000 total project) DNR grant to install around 10 miles of mountain bike trails throughout the park.  The Miners Park trails is a network of trails that connects all of the City of Ironwood residential Neighborhoods, downtown, the highway commercial district, and industrial park together through non motorized trail network which includes use of the Michigan’s Iron Belle Trail.
