Lake Superior North Shore, Hwy 61 (Duluth to/from Grand Portage)
From the harbour of Duluth, one of the world’s farthest inland ports for oceangoing ships, to the ancient “Great Carrying Place” - an ancient transcontinental trading route near the Canadian border - the North Shore Scenic Drive is abundant with history, geology, and plenty of places to explore in any season.
Hikers, cyclists and sightseers will love spending time outdoors on trails, at viewpoints and seeking waterfalls. When it’s time, head into one of the delightful and charming towns to shop and eat along a route that will transport you to the 1920s, when Highway 61 was still a dirt road winding up the shore.
The tour is designed so it can be driven in either direction. If starting out and returning back to Duluth, drive north as far as you can go and time allows, hopefully including a night or two along the way. If time is tight, Grand Marais is a logical turnaround point.
The tour goes the entire way to Grand Portage State Park at the Canadian Border. If you are going out and back, we will talk about all the sights and share the stories on the return trip so you don’t miss a thing. It’s also a complete tour experience to do the drive in just one direction, north from Duluth and cross the Canadian Border. Or, start in Grand Portage and tour southbound to Duluth.
