SUNSET CRUISE FUNDRAISER

August 14, 2026

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED US!

Together, we raised over $6,485 between ticket and drink sales, and every dollar of it is headed straight back into the dirt.

Trails don't build or maintain themselves. Behind every smooth descent, every well-built berm, and every mile of singletrack you love riding is a long list of real costs: tools, materials, professional trail work, and the ongoing maintenance it takes to keep these trails safe and rideable season after season. Fundraisers like this one are what make that possible. When you bought a ticket or grabbed a drink that night, you weren't just having a good time (though we hope you did), you were directly investing in the future of trails right here in Copper Harbor.

All Aboard for the Trails:

A Fundraiser Benefiting the Copper Harbor Trails Club

On Friday, August 14 the Copper Harbor Trails Club invites you to join us aboard the iconic Isle Royale Queen IV for a sunset cruise fundraiser celebrating the trails, community, and wild landscape that make Copper Harbor unlike anywhere else.We’ll cast off from the harbor at 7:45 PM and head into open water. Grab a drink from the cash bar featuring craft beer and spirits from Small Craft, snack on appetizers, reconnect with riding friends, and swap stories from the trail while Superior does what Superior does best. Most importantly, every ticket purchased helps support the ongoing work behind Copper Harbor’s trail system.

So come aboard. Watch the sun disappear beyond the shoreline. Raise a glass to the people who move dirt, clear downfall, shape berms, and keep the wheels turning.

An evening on Lake Superior is hard to beat on its own. Add a gorgeous sunset, good people, and a cause worth celebrating.

Why It Matters

Copper Harbor's trails are world class. That is not an accident. Copper Harbor Trails Club is the small but mighty crew behind all of it, the early mornings, the volunteer workdays, the grant writing, the dirt moving. Every dollar raised on this cruise goes back into the trails, the projects, and the vision that keeps this place punching way above its weight.
