The Atlas/Michigan/M-28 Lake Superior Corridor

M-28 Lake Superior Corridor

At 290 miles, M-28 is the longest M-numbered state highway in Michigan, crossing the Upper Peninsula east-west from Wakefield to near Sault Ste. Marie. The most scenic segment runs between Marquette and Munising, where the highway closely parallels Lake Superior's southern shore and provides direct access to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Grand Island National Recreation Area, and Scott Falls roadside park. The route crosses sections of both Ottawa and Hiawatha National Forests. Three segments of M-28 are designated part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour. Featured by UP Travel and Rider Magazine as a core UP motorcycle corridor.

Brockway Mountain Drive Overlook
Michigan
The lookout at the top of the 9-mile Brockway Mountain Drive off M-26 — 735 feet above Lake Superior with 360° views (Isle Royale on a clear day), billed as the highest drive between the Rockies and the Alleghenies.

Brockway Mountain Drive Summit
Michigan
The 9-mile Brockway Mountain Drive climbs to 1,320 feet above sea level — 720 feet above Lake Superior — making it the highest paved road between the Rockies and the Alleghenies. The summit overlook delivers a 360-degree panorama: Copper Harbor below, the Keweenaw wilderness stretching south, Lake Superior to the north, and Isle Royale visible on clear days roughly 50 miles offshore. The two-lane road is entirely rideable, connecting M-26 between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor. Spring hawk migrations are visible from the overlook in May. The road is seasonal (typically May through November) and maintained by Keweenaw County.

Copper Harbor Village
Michigan
Copper Harbor sits at the northernmost tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula — the end of the road for riders completing the full peninsula loop on M-26 and US-41. A tiny village of roughly 136 permanent residents, it serves as the gateway to Brockway Mountain Drive, Isle Royale National Park ferry departures, Fort Wilkins Historic State Park (Michigan's oldest fort), and Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. Rider Magazine has profiled the Keweenaw Peninsula as a multi-day motorcycle destination centered on Copper Harbor. The town has restaurants, lodging, and a general store, and riders regularly use it as a natural end-of-ride gathering point after looping the peninsula.
