Lions Club Park

Located on Calumet Lake, this park was created in partnership with the Calumet Lions Club. In recent years the club has donated thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of volunteer time. The park features picnic tables, a barrier-free walking trail, and parking lot. It also features an 18-hole disc golf course, horse shoe pit and large grassy areas for roaming or playing ball. There is an area to launch canoes or kayaks. Every summer the park is home to the Dam Jam, a music festival featuring local artists.

Swedetown Recreational Area

Calumet Township and the North Houghton County Water and Sewer Authority own 1,900 acres which comprises the Swedetown Recreational Area. The area has 30 kilometer of trails (three miles of which are lighted to allow night-time skiing). Swedetown is largely managed by a publically-formed community group known as the Swedetown Trails Club (STC). The 2,200 sq ft Chalet serves as a warm-up facility for the ski trails and the adjacent lighted sledding and snowboard hill. During the warm months Swedetown trails are used by hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers as well as over 200 participants in the annual Great Deer Chase Mountain Bike Race. There are currently about 24 miles of single-track trails at Swedetown.

Curling Club

The Copper Country Curling Club is located in the historic Calumet and Hecla Mining Company's Drill Shop. Formed in 1993, the Curling Club made its home at the Drill Shop in 2005. Through a collaboration between Calumet Township, the Curling Club, and the Keweenaw National Historical Park, the Drill Shop was converted into an ideal location for curling. Members meet for games twice a week during a ten week season. The Curling Club also holds a Learn To Curl program during the curling season for those interested in learning about the sport or wanting to become a member. The Drill Shop can also be rented for events such as weddings.

New Recreation Park
