A 1.6 mile hiking trail at the James Dorian Rooks Memorial Nature Sanctuary begins just off of US-41 south of Copper Harbor just past the Copper Harbor cemetery and runs along the Garden Brook. (No parking available at trailhead)

With its bluffs and ridges this dry-mesic northern forest shelters a variety of unusual plants from the fierceness of Lake Superior. Brockway Mountain is well-known for its showy spring raptor migration.

The trail is in a Michigan Nature Association Sanctuary. Foot traffic only is allowed in Michigan Nature Association sanctuaries. Please, no pets, no mechanized vehicles, no fires, no camping & carry out everything you carry in.
