Keweenaw Drone Video
We spent a few weeks in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula during summer 2015 and did some filming of the scenery. The Keweenaw is home to Michigan Technological University, the birthplace of professional hockey and Michigan's most northern point. There is a rich mining history in the area and some scenes of mining ruins and tailings can be seen in the video.
Locations filmed are as follows:
Cliff Drive :17 :51
Hungarian Falls :30
Horseshoe Harbor :40
Jacobs Falls :44
Jacobsville/Portage Entry Lighthouse 1:07
Torch Lake Dredger 1:18
Houghton (Left) Hancock (Right) 1:23
Michigan Tech 1:34
Quincy Smelter 1:38
Quincy Hoist 1:45
Copper Harbor 1:51
Gay Stamp Sands 2:08
Redridge Steel Dam 2:26
Freda 2:34
Great Sand Bay 2:50
Portage Canal Entrance Breakers 2:58
Brockway Mountain Drive 3:01

It's absolutely stunning! I recommend visiting the Porcupine Mountain State Park as well. It's not really far from the Keewenaw Peninsula. If you're coming through western Wisconsin/Minnesota area, it's actually on the way ...kinda.
Nice I love it That's my state Proud to be from michigan

@@MortonsontheMove I live in the keweenaw (born and raised, 4th generation) and this gave me a whole new perspective of where I'm at. You were right above my property at one point, very cool.
I was just looking for a visual of the area for something I'm working on and this made me really apriciated how beautiful it is up there
Just beautiful. You captured my wife's and my vacation there 2 years ago. You hit every spot we did. You did an incredible job.

WOW just beautiful! Best video of the area. Thanks so much for sharing. Your photography was brilliant!
Thank You for this Beautiful footage of The Keweenaw peninsula where I live! I hope you enjoyed your time up here! :) JJ
Absolutely beautiful. Love the music, too. Fantastic video!
Thank you for the incredible footage!!!
Absolutely beautiful....so many familiar sights!
A beautiful and mysterious place!
I miss it so.. Havent been back since gram passed away in 2007 in Calumet
One of our favorite places.
Great video! Thanks for that. I've been hanging out in the Keewenaw a couple of weeks every year of my life and never saw the steel dam in Atlantic Mine or the Stamp Mill in Freda. I guess I should spend time south of the lift bridge too. I'll be checking these out this summer!

Yes Redridge and Freda are neat places!
LOVE IT!!!!
Great aerial shots Tom and Caitlin! Loved the birds scattering as you went down the pier! Just got our drone yesterday (Mavic Air), can't wait to start using it. You inspire us!
Great footage of the area!
Two thumbs up!
I’ve never been there in the summer just the winter! It’s a whole different place! Can’t wait to go quadding there some day
Stunning video. I spent 4 years at school in Houghton, saw most of these sights, from the ground.

+Mortons on the Move Closest I've seen to this is back in the early 70's. One of the airlines serving Hancock at the time ran short sightseeing flights in the fall for a very reasonable price. They went up the east side of the Keweenaw, around the point, and back down the west side to the airport. Similar views, but much less close and personal.
Great video. My drone will be here soon.
Very nice video, keep it up!
My Home!

this is awesome! I was just there two weeks ago... I'm so glad to be from the keweenaw, it's amazing:).
So cool.... nice job. Have you seen the movie Superior??? A lot of the scenes were shot there also. Excellent work!!
I'm going up there next week. I recognized many of the places in the video. I am interested in making a movie on the geologic history of the area and would like to know if I could use some of the footage in a teaser.
Great video! Isn't it illegal to fly over the Keweenaw National Historical Park though?
I can only be there once a year for a a few days....this video will be viewed often !

That's ok, we like people who visit, enjoy and leave soon after. Remember to respect the place and not throw trash everywhere like a lot of visitors do! I've been picking up and filling countless trash bags every year, mostly comprised of organic vegan mixed nuts, granola wrappers, water bottles etc. We really didn't have many tourists until the rise of social media over the past 8 years, up until recently you needed a truck with a lift to access most of the keweenaw, last year I was camping, standing there half naked shooting my pistol at a dead tree when some tourists pulled up, the panic on there faces... priceless!😂
Great video! Where is the clip with the ATV running the shore located?

Thats right on the edge of my property in Gay, "the Gay sands" Its waste from the mines and full of hazardous material. If it interests you, there was a post apocalypse movie from the 80's filmed out there, don't recall the name but have it on an old VHS.
Damn music.

@@armedpatriot80536 I own property right next to the Gay sands and grew up there. Remember that its waste from the mine and hazardous to breath the dust in excess, wear a P-100 dust mask if out there riding. There was a movie from the 80's filmed there, its about post apocalypse mutants who live under the sands, maybe I'll take the time to upload it one of these days.

Good to know. I've spent time on the "beach" my bro in law owns frontage near the marina down from the stack.
You can aaaaalmost see the house I'm living in at 1:24.
Nice video just a little too choppy, set to the music. Otherwise enjoyed.
Absolutely stunning...now do it in the fall...it'll look like God's paintbrush exploded!!!

Yes, we got beautiful colors this year in particular, its sad how short lived it is though, it was a great year for foraging wild fruits etc, which usually indicates a long harsh winter... can't wait😧
