Directions to Bearberry Island
Head out of Eagle Harbor towards Copper Harbor. As you drive you will come to Lake Bailey on your right, and shortly thereafter a small resort that is on the west end of Lake Bailey. A short distance after that there will be a collection of mailboxes to your right, and a road to your left called Goodell Road. This will be about 4.5 miles from the intersection of M26 and the Eagle Harbor Cutoff Road in Eagle Harbor. Turn onto Goodell Road and follow it down the hill and then to the right where it splits. Take that road all the way to the end; the shore station is the last building on the right (east) side of the road.
VIEWING IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
