North Shore Maps

For Places & Activities Along Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior

Do you like a good visual? Want a map to show you the lay of the land? We’ve got that for you. We have maps for hiking, biking, climbing, camping, the Superior Hiking Trail, the Gitchi-Gami State trail [paved], cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and fat bike trails. Plus a full map of the image above, from Duluth to the Canadian border.

From Duluth’s Canal Park, northeast for 154 miles to Grand Portage and the border with Canada, this singular drive is a voyage through some of America’s most unspoiled lands. Your route offers breathtaking views, endless opportunities to enjoy nature, historic sites, attractions, parks, and villages with events, shopping, lodging, dining, and local culture.

The path hugs the water’s edge along the inland coast of the world’s largest freshwater lake, bisecting the shore and the ancient inland rock formations and wooded hills rising above the coast. The North Shore Scenic Drive was recognized for the outstanding scenic and recreational opportunities it provides along the touted North Shore of Lake Superior and was designated as an All-American Road, Minnesota’s only such designation.

Here it is – an easy way to find every type of North Shore map we offer. Every map we have is listed in alphabetical order. Plus you can choose by activity [alphabetical] and by location [listed southwest to northeast].

2021 Highway 61 Road Construction

Resurface 7 miles south of Two Harbors and add a new intersection

Replace Silver Creek bridge and rehab Stewart River Bridge

Reconstruct, resurface Hwy 61 in Grand Marais
*** July 21 update: northbound lane is complete, only 2 blocks of southbound remain under construction
***To go southbound on Highway 61, so follow the blue and/or lime green route.
***Parking – To walk from the farthest parking, at the elementary school on County Rd 7 [but NOT July 9-11 during the Art Festival], to downtown is the equivalent of walking across 3 big box parking lots, but much prettier.

Improvements from just north of Cutface Creek to just north of Hwy 14 in Grand Marais in Cook County

Motorists can expect delays of up to 30 minutes and are asked to obey all signage. The highway department appreciates your patience as we work on these infrastructure improvements.
