Grand Marais and the Boundary Waters

Blessed with an excellent natural harbor and scenic location on the shore of the world’s largest freshwater lake, Grand Marais is worth a visit. Located at the eastern end of the Gunflint Trail, the town is a popular starting and outfitting point for canoe trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park.

The area has a history as long as anywhere in North America, since the French “Voyageurs” were already exploring the area when the English Pilgrims arrived aboard the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. 

Unlike the East Coast, the coast of Lake Superior has changed relatively little since the days of the early explorers. With a canoe and a little imagination you can travel back in time.
