Peace and quiet. That's the reason a lot of folks find their way to the Upper Peninsula. But where to U.P. Residents go to find their own peace and quiet? The Keweenaw Shore Nature Sanctuary, that's where. Health and Happiness U.P. Magazine recently noted the benefits of visiting the location.
Excerpt: Some of us have a favorite song, a favorite rock, a favorite book, or perhaps a favorite place. The Keweenaw Shore Nature Sanctuary in Keweenaw County, (owned by the Michigan Nature Association), is one of my favorite places in the Upper Peninsula.
The Keweenaw Shore Nature Sanctuary straddles M-26 adjacent to the Esrey Park roadside picnic area, about 8 miles east of Eagle Harbor and 6 miles west of Copper Harbor. A short three-quarter mile trail begins across from Esrey Park, passing through four distinct plant communities and over several rocky ridges of Copper Harbor conglomerate—a sedimentary rock formation consisting of individual rock fragments within a finer-grained matrix that have become cemented together.
