The city has changed in appearance over the years and few buildings remain as they once were. The Beaver Bay Lodge, Spruce Point Diner, Ernie Hanson home, and Les Strand's Sawmill were destroyed by fire. Within a one block area are the sites of an old grist mill, an Indian burial mound with the grave of Chief John Beargrease, and a children's playground. Trout and salmon fishing is excellent right under the bridge. A walking tour of Beaver Bay Take a few minutes to rest and steep yourself in the history of the North Shore.
Informational literature is available inside.
Across Highway 61 you will see the Beaver Bay cemetery. Many of the graves contain the remains of early pioneer settlers. Just a couple of blocks up the hill behind the Holiday station is the Chippewa Indian cemetery which contains the gravesite of John Beargrease. On both sides of the highway are quaint shops, restaurants and a bakery for you to browse in. Stay as long as you like, there is a picnic area near the bridge at the Beaver River.
