Mile 24.5 East City Limits Rose Creek,MN
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.

Duluth's historic Canal Park Duluth's historic Canal Park is the perfect place to begin or end your drive along Lake Superior's scenic North Shore. Once an area of junkyards and abandoned warehouses, Canal Park has taken on new life in the past two decades as a focal point of Duluth's vibrant tourism industry. Ships from the Great Lakes and all over the world pass through the Duluth Ship Canal and under the city's landmark Aerial Lift Bridge as they enter or leave the harbor with loads of grain, coal, taconite, and other trade commodities. You can't get a better close-up view of these giant 'lakers' and 'salties' than from the walkway atop the Canal Park breakwater. The Lake Superior Maritime Visitors Center at the foot of the aerial bridge features information on the history of Lake Superior and the shipping activity of the Twin Ports.

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.
