Experience the thrill of reaching the same heights world-class athletes once did on Copper Peak’s Adventure Ride! Visitors can ride a chair lift to an 800-foot hilltop and an 18-story elevator to the main observation deck. The truly courageous can then ascend an additional eight stories to the top starting gate.
The summit provides the Midwest’s highest and most breathtaking panoramic view. Visitors can see over 2,500 square miles, three states, and Canada on a clear day.
What are you waiting for? Take advantage of the unforgettable opportunity that is the Copper Peak Adventure Ride!

The ski hill at the park is located a half-mile west of the Union Bay Campground along Ontonagon County Road 107.
“Ride the chairlift to the top of the ski hill and either hike or ride the lift back down for some great scenery overlooking Lake Superior,” Wild said. “Bring a camera.”
