Brunette Park

Most of the popular parks in the Keweenaw Peninsula are on the rugged western shores of the peninsula; however, the eastern Keweenaw Bay side has a lot to offer, too. Brunette Park doesn’t have much to offer, but the views are immaculate, and it’s often free from the hoopla of other tourist areas on the peninsula.

The park has picnic tables, bathrooms, benches, and grills for visitors to utilize. Unlike much of the Keweenaw, this area is sandy. There are rocks here and there, but it’s a nice place to sit in the sand on a hot day, enjoy a picnic, or get together with friends. On a clear day, you can see the topography of the land across the bay.

There isn’t much else around Brunette Park; however, it’s in between Gay and Lac La Belle and locations like Haven Falls and Tobacco River Falls & Park. Whether you need a spot to stretch your legs, a bathroom break, or want to unwind on the beach, Brunette Park is an excellent option.
