Hiked a short segment of the SHT north of Tettegouche State Park to Tower Overlook this Fall. 3 mile out and back segment. Only encountered 2 other hikers the entire time on the trail. Would love to explore more of the trail with some backpacking in the future. The trail stretches 200 miles from Duluth up to Canada.

We where there 11/15/19 and the road to the overlook was closed for the season. We walked the road up to the overlook as so many others did that day, the weather was beautiful (38 degrees and sunny) for a fall day. At the top the view was beautiful with the sun shinning on the lake. Was totally worth the morning walk for the view at the top.

Split Rock Lighthouse State Park is a true gem. There are a lot of trails for hiking and our family favorite is pebble beach. We bring our chairs and let the kids skip rocks into the water while we enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Superior. If you hike to the big rocks on the shore you can even catch some fantastic views of Split Rock Lighthouse!
4. Split Rock Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,055 reviews
Shipwrecks from a mighty 1905 November gale prompted this rugged landmark's construction. Completed by the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1910, Split Rock Light Station soon became one of Minnesota's best known landmarks. Restored to its 1920s appearance, the light station offers a glimpse of lighthouse life in this remote and spectacular setting. Split Rock Lighthouse is a National Historic Landmark.

We really found this lighthouse a majestic beauty that helped us really appreciate the history of the North Shore and Lake Superior. We enjoyed the overview of the Lighthouse but listening to others we were a bit reluctant to walk to the shore to get a better view. It was a really easy walk down and back up and we were really glad we did it because that little distance gave us such a beautiful view of the lighthouse.

Great spot along the North Shore with a short hike to see the Middle and High Falls of the Gooseberry River. Probably the most popular spot along the North shore so expect crowds.

My husband I like to visit Stoney when Lake Superior is stormy!! The large waves crashing against the rocks is magnificent... in the winter..the ice crystals on the nearby trees is haunting...a small little road on the old 61 highway leads to this place right on the lake is hard to find, so ask locals how to get there!

Good view of the Lake walking out on the jetty to the beacon. Good spot for just hanging out. We didn’t take a tour of the lighthouse, though we are interested in staying in the B&B at a future visit. Loved the gift shop with books written by regional experts on previously unknown, eccentric aspects of Great Lakes life. Other great gifts too.

Excellent value and information to keep your interest makes this a very worthwhile adventure. Adults n kids were all intrigued by the exhibits and we all learned quite a lot - glad we spent the afternoon.
9. Castle Danger Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 240 reviews
The North Shore of Lake Superior is a special place. It’s the crash of the waves on the rocky shores, an outdoor adventure in the woods, seeing the stars, sitting by a campfire, being at the cabin, casting a line, a scenic drive with the family, or visiting your favorite taproom overlooking Lake Superior. The nostalgia runs deep and the origins are endless. The experience is unique to you, yet for all to enjoy. Our beers are clean, balanced and approachable. They are brewed with Lake Superior water by hearty souls that embody the North Shore. Wherever or whenever you enjoy a Castle Danger beer, you can taste a little bit of the North Shore in every sip.

We stopped to take time away from the ice-storm upon us and were happy we did! They have many games to play and an inviting atmosphere. We sat at a high top and played cribbage while enjoying some of their famous beers (e.g. Cream ale; IPA). You order at the bar (only)/cash-register. We also had some of their "Wicked" salsa and blue chips ($9) - Worth it! I will be purchasing some online (salsa). BUT... it is not an extensive menu - just a few little snacks. The staff were very warm and encouraging.

It was a little tricky to find. Park in the upper parking lot and find the trail there. We parked by the boating launch and the trail from there is pretty tricky. The sound of the rocks clicking as you walk, the beautiful pink and green and blue rocks was wonderful. We simply sat and listened to the rocks, enjoying making them move and sing by gently brushing them. We wanted to return there, but never had time. The waves were too mild to hear them sing in the water.
