The Gunflint Trail is an amazingly scenic drive.
The road up here isn’t bad, either.
The drive up the north shore of Lake Superior from Duluth to Grand Marais, Minnesota, offers some of the most breathtaking views you’re ever apt to see. An All American Road (highest level of National Scenic Byway). Ninety miles of shoreline on the world’s largest freshwater lake. Eight state parks, The Superior National Forest. And the gateway to the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway.
No wonder the drive north is a national scenic drive.
Along the way, you’ll find all sorts of shopping, dining and outdoor opportunities:
New Scenic Café
Split Rock Lighthouse
Betty’s Pies
CoHo Café and Bakery
Nokomis Restaurant
Gooseberry Falls State Park
Lester River
Temperance River State Park
Northwoods Pioneer Gallery & Gifts
Great Lakes Candy Kitchen
Waterfront Gallery

And more…
