We are conveniently located near Houghton and Hancock and the many attractions and recreational opportunities the area has to offer. Winter brings snowmobiling on over 2.500 miles of trails that connect all over the Upper Peninsula. Head up to Copper Harbor or over to the Porcupine Mountains on the famed Bill Nichols Snowmobile Trail. The Bill Nichols Trail is also open to ATV riding.

Don't have a sled or tired of hauling that trailer? Give us a call! Snowmobile and ATV rentals can be delivered to your cabin door. Wildlife Refuge Cabins are within 150 feet of the snowmobile and ATV trails.

Go downhill skiing at Mt. Ripley in Hancock or try out the excellent cross country ski trails in the area. Snowshoes are fun for walking in the woods. Ice fishing is great in nearby lakes. The area around South Range is a major snowbelt with snow arriving early and staying late in the spring, so get set for some great winter fun.

Summer at Wildlife Refuge Cabins

Warmer weather is a time for fishing, mountain biking, ORV'ing, boating, golfing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, bird watching, and hiking.

 

Enjoy the areas wonderful woods and waters. The headwaters of the Sturgeon River are just east of the cabins for some spectacular fishing, and the Keweenaw Water Trail offers wonderful canoeing and kayaking.

An Agate beach is just west of Toivola.

Fall brings the hardwood trees ablaze with outstanding color. Walk through the nearby woods for peaceful relaxation or take a drive and enjoy the flaming color. A day trip on Highway M-26 west towards the Porcupine Mountains makes a great color tour. Lake of the Clouds in the Porkies is always beautiful and you can get some great pictures along the Lake Superior shoreline. Another day trip will take you up to Copper Harbor on US-41 through the archway of trees south of Copper Harbor and return over Brockway Mountain, one of Michigan's outstanding drives.

Enjoy our comfortable cabins while you are attending an event at MTU or the Rozsa Center. The Keweenaw offers many interesting attractions in the Historic Copper Country such as copper mine tours, lighthouses, museums, old mining locations, waterfalls, Ft. Wilkins Historic State Park, and many more.
