Though there are multiple abandoned mines in the park, the Smithwick Mine is the one that most visitors will come in contact with, because of its close proximity to the Rock Harbor area. In order to visit, you should visit the Rock Harbor Visitor Center to see if there are any ranger programs happening about the history of the area, including commercial fishing and the mining.
