Northeast
The beauty of the land is striking: the enticing shoreline of Lake Superior, the serene wilderness lakes of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, the expansive waters of Voyageurs National Park, the scenic St. Croix River rushing through tall, rocky cliffs. Pine and hardwoods of the Chippewa and Superior national forests blanket the rolling hills. They are home to moose, wolves, bears, deer, eagles and loons. Small towns and a major city have grown up at the edge of these woods. For those who come to fish the waters and hike the trails, there are hundreds of lodges, resorts and campgrounds.
1000 Grand Lakes Area -- To be precise, there are actually more than 1,600 lakes splashed throughout this region of Minnesota, and they are the highlight of many vacations here. Fishing, swimming, waterskiing and boating are all top draws on the water, and the vast woods hold hiking trails and campgrounds.
Duluth Area -- Crowning the tip of giant Lake Superior is Duluth, a contemporary city teeming with history and spirit. It’s Minnesota’s largest city outside of the Twin Cities area. With its lakeside setting and an incredible array of things to see and do, Duluth has become a popular place to get away for a few days of fun.
Gunflint Trail/BWCA Area -- The Gunflint Trail winds deep into the north woods and lakes of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), beginning at the picturesque town of Grand Marais, on the
north shore of Lake Superior.
Iron Trail Area -- Minnesota’s Iron Range gained fame and a name because of its rich supply of iron ore. The area is now becoming known as a recreation destination for its beautiful lakes and forests as well as its history.
North Shore Area -- To Minnesotans, the “North Shore” means Lake Superior, in all its majesty, its shining waters stretching to the horizon. The North Shore is where Superior’s craggy shoreline meets Minnesota’s forested wilderness. Miniature mountains blanketed by pine and birch stand watch along the shore. Wilderness streams plunge over waterfalls. Harbor towns rest here and there along the shore.
Voyageur Country Area -- More than 200 years ago, French-Canadian canoemen, called voyageurs, paddled Minnesota’s northern waterway carrying loads of beaver and other fur pelts. Part of their water highway is now Voyageurs National Park, named in their honor. Its 30 lakes dominate Minnesota’s only national park, Voyageurs. The largest are Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan and Sand Point lakes.
