Minnesota’s North Shore Scenic Drive, Duluth, Minnesota, USA
Beginning at Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota’s North Shore Scenic Drive is a 142 mile journey through an unspoiled wilderness that kisses the sweeping shoreline of the world’s largest freshwater lake. The breathtaking cliffs and beaches of Lake Superior’s beautiful North Shore are bordered by the Sawtooth Mountains and thousands of acres of pine, aspen and birch trees.
Rivers and streams make their rocky way to the lake, forging dazzling waterfalls along the way. Lighthouses recall the awesome power of the mighty lake, and dozens of trails allow visitors to experience the North Shore’s natural beauty up close. Friendly communities are home to cultural and historic museums and exhibits, as well as unique shopping, dining and lodging. You may wish to drive slowly and stop often, as the North Shore Scenic Drive reaches its destination at Grand Portage all too soon!
History comes alive on the Lakefront line of the North Shore Scenic Railroad! During our summer season several trains a day depart the historic Duluth Union Depot for a trip through downtown Duluth, Canal Park, along the shore of Lake Superior and deep into the majestic north woods. Fully narrated tours tell the history of Duluth, the harbor, and the stories of the railroads that built northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
