Parks and Outdoors Expert Tips & Helpful Hints
- Your host at the Brockway is an active birder, so don't hesitate to ask about the multitude of avian species that migrate through the area.
- The motel is 500 yards up the street from the scenic Brockway Mountain Drive, a nine-mile road overlooking Lake Superior, complete with lookouts and displays built 75 years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Though the room interiors are decidedly modest by resort-town standards, you'd be hard-pressed to find an accommodation in Copper Harbor more welcoming than the Brockway Inn, and this in a town justifiably renown for it's welcoming lodging. Feel free to treat your innkeepers as your own personal tour guides, as the Brockway's owners know the Copper Country through and through, even acting as volunteer organizers for the annual International Migratory Bird Day Festival. The attached Boreal Beans coffeehouse (amusingly billed as "Michigan's northernmost") offers up a fine alternative to the complimentary sludge at most hotel breakfast bars, as well as a comfy spot to plan tomorrow's adventure or compare birdwatching check-off lists with your fellow guests.
