The James H. Klipfel Memorial Nature Sanctuary at Brockway Mountain is located at the top of Brockway Mountain. An easy one-mile loop trail starts at the sign and takes hikers north to a lookout that shows Mt. Lookout, Eagle Harbor and Lake Superior. This is an easy hike for all ages.

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 take US-41 north 45.2 miles to Copper Harbor. Turn left at the light at M-26 and left again at Brockway Mountain Drive at the edge of town. Drive 3.4 miles up the Mountain Drive until you see the green MNA sign, which marks the trailhead.
