Make a left from our driveway and you’ll see the lake on the horizon. Make another left onto the dirt road at (almost) the end of Canal Road. Follow the path. Walk, bike or drive. About 1.5 miles. Take a leap into the lake, hangout for a sunset or go for stargazing. Also great for snowshoeing in the winter!

Can’t come to the Copper Country and not visit McLains. It’s a pretty park just across the breakwater from North Canal Park. Unfortunately there’s no bridge, so you drive to town and loop through Hancock to get there. Unless you want to kayak across the canal.
