When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Copper Harbor, MI?

Answer 1

According to Wikipedia, the "Earth's magnetic dipole axis is most closely aligned with the Parker spiral in April and October." This means, of course, that the Northern Lights (or aurora borealis) are almost always stronger at these times.

Answer 2

The Sun follows a sunspot cycle of eleven years. During the period of greatest sunspot activity, northern lights are more abundant and easily seen. And can be seen farther south than usual. Sunspots being magnetic storms, emit strong electro magnetic surges that interfere with our radio communications on Earth. We are currently in a basic minimum, between cycles.
