Steam boiler and stamp mill ruins of the Carp Lake Mine surrounded by giant white trilliums (Trillium grandiflorum) and trout lilies (Erythronium americanum). This boiler powered the Carp Lake copper mine's stamp mill and other equipment in the Upper Peninsula in the 1860s to early 1900s. It would have cost more money than it was worth to remove it so it was left to slowly rust away as nature reclaimed the area.
