Explore Minnesota's North Shore

From Duluth northeast to Canada, Minnesota's North Shore takes visitors past inland mountains, wave-battered cliffs, and a wide expanse of stormy, enchanting and utterly massive Lake Superior.

Adventures along Minnesota's North Shore

Minnesota's North Shore is a 154-mile stretch of waterfalls, mixed woods, rocky and pebbled shoreline, small towns that hang on to their heritage and, of course, commanding Lake Superior views. The North Shore Scenic Drive (State-61) runs 150 miles from Duluth at the southwestern tip of the lake to Grand Portage at the Canadian border. Along the way, visitors with even a teeny bit of adventure stirring inside them can't resist the eight state parks (including Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, left) or the Superior Hiking Trail. But the towns are remarkable, too.
