Your donation will be doubled!
A big thanks to SRAM for their generous $500,000/year commitment over five years (that’s $2.5 MILLION)! Your donation will be doubled, helping us build more trails and enhance the Copper Harbor experience. Let’s make it happen!
How exactly does your donation will help the Copper Harbor Trails? Here are a few ways that your donation is making an immediate difference:
1. Build and maintain top-notch non-motorized, human-powered trails.
Building great trails isn’t cheap—it costs at least $60,000 per mile in Copper Harbor, especially for technical terrain. We’re fortunate to have loyal supporters for trail construction and maintenance each year. Are you one of them?
2. Advocate for the public access to our shared natural resources.
Building new trails is vital, but protecting access to existing ones is equally important.The Copper Harbor Trails Club works hard to maintain public access for all outdoor enthusiasts. We’ve invested significant time and resources in negotiating License Agreements and Trail Easements to keep our trails open and protected for future generations. While it may not be as glamorous as new construction, preserving our current system ensures everyone can enjoy the trails now and in the years to come, whether that’s this weekend or with your kids and grandkids.
3. Keep our wild, undeveloped landscape intact.
The Keweenaw’s rugged landscape is special, with few roads and isolated development. We collaborate with the Keweenaw Outdoor Recreation Coalition to protect our forests and shorelines, which makes our trails scenic. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources values our organization’s input, and the more members we have, the stronger our voice becomes.
4. Host exciting races and clinics.
Our men's and women's clinics, Singletrack Flyers, and the Copper Harbor Trails Fest require countless hours of organization and staff time. Your membership helps us keep these popular events going.
5. Keep the lights on.
It might sound mundane, but without your membership dollars we wouldn't be able to pay for insurance, regulatory fees, and other required operational expenses. No insurance = no trails. We keep our overhead costs as low as possible though to ensure that the majority of your membership contribution goes right back into keeping the system as healthy as possible.
6. We're building a community.
For over 30 years, people in Copper Harbor have come together to support the vision of becoming an epic trail destination. Many early pioneers are still here, and each year we welcome new members who share our passion. Those once-crazy dreams are now a reality! Together, we can continue improving our trails and the Copper Harbor community.
