Keweenaw Geopark

The Keweenaw National Historic Park gives us an inkling of the Geopark idea, with its use of Heritage Site Partners. The Geopark would build on this idea.

 
 

The land we live on is important to our well being, health and quality of life.  Where would we be without the Lake Superior Basin which holds the Greatest Lake?  And without the rift, there would be no peninsula, no docks or ships, no copper, no big sea water.  Now this basin defines the quality of life every day here from the winter snow to the summers cool breezes. We need to learn about how this came to be...
