Grand Portage National Monument Grand Portage National Monument is of international and regional significance because it was the central hub of a once flourishing fur trade. Here the bold economic strategy and exploration by the North West Company voyageurs and traders opened up a transcontinental trade route. Grand Portage was and remains a meeting ground of diverse cultures. The site is home ground for contemporary Grand Portage Ojibwe.
Highway State 61
Two Harbors Two Harbors is the largest Minnesota town along the Lake Superior shore north of Duluth and definitely worth a stop. Here you'll find some interesting shops along the main drag. But detour off Hwy 61 a few blocks on Waterfront Drive to visit the historic Two Harbors Light Station, Edna G. tugboat, original steam locomotives, ore docks, and Lake County Historical Society Museum. Housed within the Duluth-Iron Range Depot, the museum interprets a glorious era gone by, when Two Harbors was the busiest port and transportation hub north of Duluth and when iron ore, timber, and fishing were in their heyday.

Oberg Mountain Turn inland here on Onion River Road (Forest Road 336) for a wonderful 2.2 mile round-trip hike to the top of Oberg Mountain. Don't let the name scare you. Most of the elevation will be gained on your drive to the parking area, making the hike generally moderate, with a bit steeper section near the end. You'll be rewarded with great views of Lake Superior, along with several inland lakes. Especially stunning in the fall.

Junction of Itasca County Roadway #18 - South side of the highway. This is also known as the 'National Route Great River Road Minnesota'. The Minnesota Great River Road offers the best of Minnesota. The route encompasses the banks of the Mississippi River, Northern Minnesota’s '10,000 lakes' and forests. Recreational spots have taken over the land of the lumberjack where Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe, used to roam freely.
