Take the Lac La Belle Road south off US-41 approximately 10 miles south of Copper Harbor. This was the site of the stamp mills for the Delaware Mining Company and an important shipping point for area mines. The lake was also used as a port of refuge by Great Lakes ships caught in storms on Lake Superior. The photo shows the old stamp mill, some remains of which can be found along the road near Haven Park.
