Also known as the Arrowhead region, Northeast Minnesota is a land of rugged beauty unlike any other. Up in the northernmost reaches of the lower 48, plan a houseboat escape at Voyageurs National Park, a 218,000-acre park that’s more than one-third water. Or head out for a week in the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where you can canoe and portage between more than 1,000 lakes in one of America’s most remote settings. Both spots offer stellar stargazing and opportunities to see the northern lights. Nearby, the Mesabi Iron Range is the heart of Minnesota’s mining country and home to some of the state’s best ATV and bike trails. For an unforgettable road trip, follow the North Shore of Lake Superior between the bustling port city of Duluth and the U.S.-Canada border. Along the way, you’ll find some of the state’s most iconic scenery and natural beauty, eight state parks with tumbling waterfalls and lakefront trails, and charming waterfront towns. Whether you want rugged wilderness or a cozy lakeside lodge, you’ll find it in Northeast Minnesota. EXPLORE THE NORTHEAST Check out the places mentioned here and plan your trip!
