Snowy Upper Michigan:
A Weekend Getaway from Hancock to Copper Harbor
We may be biased, but, winter in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula is truly special—one of the most magical places in all of Upper Michigan. Winter in the Keweenaw is a season of quiet beauty, invigorating adventure, and plenty of things to do! Snow-covered forests, frozen waterfalls, and, the vast, icy expanse of Lake Superior create a landscape that invites both movement and stillness. Whether you're seeking the thrill of exploration, the comfort of warmth, or a bit of both, from Hancock to Copper Harbor, the Keweenaw offers a perfect blend of outdoor discovery, soul-soothing rituals, and a deep sense of place.

Social Sauna: Good for Your Physical & Social Fitness
Most of us will readily agree that social connections make us happier. Having supportive family, close friends, and a sense of community where we live all contribute to our overall sense of happiness and improve our mental health. But what we might not realize is this: those connections also directly impact our physical health. Turns out, this “social fitness” may be just as important (or more) as participating in other health and wellness activities.
Following The Finns
At Takka, we follow the Finnish sauna tradition, where wellness and equality come together. In Finland, the sauna is a great equalizer—a place to reconnect with body and spirit. Discover how this ancient practice shapes our mission at Takka Portage, bringing community and Finnish values to life.
