My hope is that through this site, you will discover new places to visit, explore and experience. I love Minnesota, the land of over 10,000 lakes, and my most favorite part of this amazing state is the northeastern corner, along the North Shore of Lake Superior.
I have been making annual treks north every year since I was a child. I am passionate about the scenic beauty, the arts, the people and the peace that finds me whenever I am there.
I am often asked, "where should we stay?" "where should we eat?" and "where should we go once we get there?" and now I can direct everyone here!
Once you start your planning, keep in mind there are great resources for you through other sites as well:

www.northshorevisitor.com
www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks.com
And there are fabulous free guides, maps and brochures available to you at every Minnesota state park and several restaurants along the way.
