Discover Amazing Lodging & Scenery Along Lake Superior’s Rugged North Shore
Four seasons of wonder await you along the 142 miles of Minnesota’s North Shore Scenic Drive.

Lodging and activities are as varied as the North Shore’s communities. Duluth, a city of more than 86,000 people, offers all the amenities from dining and night life to shopping, cultural events and museums. Beaver Bay is the oldest settlement on the North Shore, dating back to 1856. Two Harbors’ history is fishing, mining, shipping and logging, while Lutsen is best known for its ski resort and Grand Marais has become a popular artists’ colony.
Recreational opportunities are as diverse as the communities. Hiking and snowmobiling, canoeing and camping allow you to experience nature, while golfing and skiing can take you to the area’s larger resorts. History and culture abound along the way, so take your time and enjoy.
