Gunflint Trail

From the quaint streets of Grand Marais to the Canadian border, the Gunflint Trail takes visitors through the majestic trees of the Superior National Forest and glacial lakes of the Boundary Water Canoe Area. There are no towns along the route, making it an ideal escape to the pristine wilderness. Nature lovers come to spot moose and eagles, canoe, fish or explore miles of hiking trails. Spend the night at a scenic lakeshore campground or resort, and enjoy a game or fresh fish dinner at a tucked-away wilderness lodge.
