Paddling near Grand Portage, MN

Grand Portage sits at the northeastern tip of Minnesota's Cook County, on the shore of Lake Superior near the Canadian border. The area anchors one end of the historic Grand Portage route linking Lake Superior to inland waterways, and today paddlers can access Lake Superior's rugged North Shore coastline from Grand Portage Safe Harbor as well as dozens of inland lakes within a short drive, including connections toward the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Superior National Forest.
