COPPER FALLS STATE PARK
Natural site to discover
Read more20 minutes south of Ashland, near the town of Mellen, there is a nature park with a river (the Bad River) and a lake, Loon Lake. You can go fishing, canoeing, kayaking and motor boating. It also contains a small canyon and several waterfalls. The park is home to twenty-seven kilometres of hiking trails: ideal for spending an afternoon walking or relaxing. It takes its name from the fact that copper was discovered there by the Amerindians and, centuries later, by European settlers.
