What you’ll see
Michigan Tech’s camera looks over the Keweenaw Waterway from the Lakeshore Center in Houghton. The bridge connects Houghton and Hancock. Watch for boats passing below and changes in visibility along the waterfront.
Planning a visit
The view is useful for checking whether the bridge and waterway are clear enough to see before a waterfront walk. Michigan Tech also operates cameras farther along the waterway if you want a wider look at conditions.
