Visitors will find the Grand Portage National Monument situated along Lake Superior’s north shore in Grand Portage, Minnesota. The monument preserves vital Anishinaabeg Ojibwe heritage along with history regarding the area’s fur trade activity. The 8.5-mile footpath that bypasses rapids and waterfalls on the Pigeon River’s last 20 miles is the area’s historic Grand Portage. Visitors can enjoy a hike along a trail surrounded by hardwoods and evergreens as it switchbacks up Mount Rose; at the top they can take in breathtaking views over the historic depot, meadows, and shimmering Grand Portage Bay. Highlights include the Great Hall, Historic Gardens, the Canoe Warehouse, and Ojibwe Village.
