Lake Superior
 
Do you have any information about a good trip around the lake superior ? <BR>Thank's.

I have driven around Lake Superior, crossing at Ste. Sault Marie, continuing north to Wawa, and westward to what is now Thunder Bay and back into Minnesota. <BR>I think the Michigan shore is more scenic, with a trip by boat to Ile Royal something interesting to do. <BR>Just what did you have in mind? It is sort of a lonely trip in the sense of seeing a lot ot cities and towns. The country is sparsely populated. <BR>But the woods of the upper peninsula of Michigan, particularly around Crystal Falls are pretty, particularly when the leaves start to turn. <BR>

I think you would prefer going to Isle Royale from Grand Portage, Minnesota. It is much closer - only about 25 miles as opposed to triple that or more from the Michigan side. Don't sell the Minnesota side of Lake Superior short either. It is beautiful also. I think you will enjoy it.

The Keewanaw peninsula/Copper Harbor are beautiful; I'd definately make a trip up there since you're going to be in the area. Pictured Rocks, Lake Gogebic, Taquammenon FAlls. It shouldn't be hard to fit them all in. A tour of a copper or iron mine is fun too. Enjoy Michigan! It;s the best!

Another beautiful and unique town on the Superior coast near Grand Portage is Grand Marais. There's a fun, huge "general store" and many artsy shops. Greatest pizza in the northwoods is Sven and Ole's in Grand Marais. There's a campground and townhouses to rent not far from town. This town is definitely worth at least a day's stop!
