Grand Marais is a small village along the north shore of Lake Superior, with a beautiful harbor and a setting much like a seaside community. The waters of Lake Superior are cool and crystal clear, keeping Grand Marais cool during the summer months. The village is the stepping off spot for the famous Gunflint Trail, a 60 mile paved road heading into the wilderness country adjacent to the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Gunflint has a variety of resorts, canoe outfitters, and campgrounds for visitors. Summer recreation focuses on walleye and lake trout fishing, nature activities, boating, canoeing, swimming, riding and hiking.
Some facilities are open in the winter for cross country skiing, dog sledding and snow shoeing.
