At the Keweenaw Shore Nature Sanctuary trail head, across M-26 from Esrey Park, the trail takes the hiker over the ridge to the Upson Lake Nature Sanctuary. The total distance is two miles. This is a great trail that gives you a cross-section of Keweenaw geology and habitats. This is the only trail that is not a loop.The trail is in a Michigan Nature Association Sanctuary and all sanctuary rules apply. Collecting plants, seeds, or animals or any kind is strictly forbidden. Stay on established trails. Only foot traffic is allowed - the use of all motorized vehicles or mountain bikes is prohibited. No hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, campfires, or pets are permitted. Carry out all refuse. Leave only footprints, take only pictures.DIRECTIONS: From Hancock drive north on US-41 to the M-26 junction at Phoenix. Turn left, drive through Eagle River and Eagle Harbor. From the M-26/Eagle Harbor Cut-off Road in Eagle Harbor, turn left and drive 6 miles on M-26 to Esrey Park. The trailhead is across the highway and to the right about 50 yards.
