Where in the Copper Country Wednesday – #7
Jay knew exactly what building was featured in last week’s photo. It is indeed the Citizen’s bank building in downtown Hancock (for more information on this series, please see the beginning of this post).
This week’s picture is from a place that my family loves to go fishing at whenever they visit. The fish may not always be biting, but the location is pretty and there is a bathroom available which is handy for the kiddies. One time while we were there, three guys jumped in the water and scrubbed up. I guess they were taking a bath. Watching them made me shiver! It may not be Lake Superior, but the water can still be pretty cold!
My husband and I also had an interesting encounter here. It was late at night and the fog was low. We saw a light flashing back and forth and you can imagine how excited we were when we realized it was a freighter coming! We watched in amazement as the freighter passed by.
Where in the Copper Country is this picture taken?

Since a freighter went by, it’s definitelyt the Portage.
Is it at the far western edge of the park in Houghton along the Portage (the one with “Chutes & Ladders”)?
Coming to you from Mathfest in lovely Madison, WI — I’m going to guess it’s the south portage entry. Not sure though. It’s definitely not Chutes and Ladders, based on the wood on the railings.
Oh how wrong both of you are, its by the Lily Pond, public access with the boat launch. I chased or wait, it was more like parked and waited for the John B Aird to come through after unloading salt in Hancock one really windy and cool day 10/2006, thought I was going to run out of light by the time he got there. Then I drove up to the old Coast Gaurd station and took a few photos as he headed off into the lake.
Sorry – a little late due to some technical difficulties….
Gordy got it! It is indeed the DNR Lily Pond Public Access Site.
