Safety

Weather

Weather in the Keweenaw can be unpredictable. Alway plan ahead and prepare for all conditions. Dress appropriately for the season, and bring extra layers just in case. Sun protection such as hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen can be necessary all year round. Remember to stay hydrated, bring plenty of water for your entire group, there are limited water-filling stations and stores in rural areas.

 

Stay Safe and Recreate Responsibly

If you visit the Park or any of the Heritage Sites please remember to:

• Wash your hands often

• Avoid close contact

• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others

• Cover coughs and sneezes

• Clean and disinfect surfaces

 

Visitors explore the North Country Trail at Old Victoria.

Dial 9-1-1 in Emergencies

As most of the property within Park boundaries is privately owned, be prepared to give your location. You should report fires, accidents, or life-threatening emergencies. Some areas within the Park or Heritage Sites are considered remote, possibly without cellphone service. You may have to find a nearby land line.

No matter the season, know the current forecast. Summer can bring thunderstorms, while winter snowstorms can make travel or exploration hazardous.

 

Medical Services

The Calumet area is serviced by Aspirus Keweenaw, located at 205 Osceola St., in Laurium, MI, less than one mile from the Calumet Visitor Center. There are first aid kits and an AED at the Visitor center.
