context_page_description: Palisade Head is a large rock formation on the North Shore of Lake Superior in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It is within Tettegouche State Park but not contiguous with the rest of that park. Palisade Head is located at milepost 57 on scenic Minnesota State Highway 61 in Beaver Bay Township, Lake County, approximately 54 miles northeast of Duluth and three miles northeast of Silver Bay.
context_section_description: The headland is covered by a mixed forest of white spruce, mountain ash, aspen, paper birch, and oak.  Raptors can often be seen soaring over the cliffs.  Peregrine falcons nest on Palisdade Head, Bald eagles nest in the area, and thousands of hawks of several species can be seen migrating along the shoreline in the fall.  There are plentiful wild blueberries and, less commonly, gooseberries.
