The natural wonders of the North Shore include seven state parks, winding gorges filled with rapids, waterfalls and hiking trails.
Boathouse Bay, located in Silver Bay, Minnesota, is ideally located to enjoy all the natural beauty and abundance of activities the North Shore provides from Duluth to Grand Portage.
And there’s more - the iconic Split rock Lighthouse and the Apostle Islands along with stops at Gooseberry Falls, Tettegouche State Park and Black Beach.
Vacationers often enjoy taking a sea kayak excursion on Lake Superior, admiring the rugged granite shoreline and the serenity of the crystal-clear waters. The minerals in the native rock give off an orange-gold hue that is nothing short of magical.
Fall, the season of color, comes with bursting hues into the natural scenery in late September. Tourists flock to hike, bike, kayak and just simply enjoy the colorful splendor of the autumn foliage.
With the snow, the North Shore comes to life with snowmobiles, Nordic skiers, snowshoeing and Alpine skiing. And, after an exhilarating day of activity, the hearth brings warmth and relaxation.
