Bete Grise Preserve

Spanning 62 acres, the captivating Bete Grise Wetlands Preserves showcase a sandy shoreline stretching over 4,000 feet along the majestic Lake Superior. This remarkable area transitions seamlessly into dune and swale wetlands, offering a diverse and picturesque landscape to explore. Additionally, the preserve boasts an impressive 1,000 feet of frontage along the Mendota Ship Canal, adding a unique touch to its natural allure.

For those eager to immerse themselves in this natural gem, access to the TNC preserve is granted by strolling along the beach, guiding visitors through the enchanting Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District’s Bete Grise Preserve. To catch a glimpse of the charming lighthouse, a delightful trail beckons visitors northward towards the channel, promising a tranquil and scenic journey. It's worth noting that as you reach the trail's end near the canal, private residences dot the landscape. Respect for their privacy is kindly requested, enhancing the harmonious coexistence between visitors and the local community.
