Driving from Two Harbors to Duluth and from Grand Portage to Two Harbors along the north shore of Lake Superior, you will be driving through one of the most scenic roads in the country. No wonder it is often called the All-American Road.

Besides spectacular lake vistas, you will see steep cliffs, forested hills, rapid flowing streams, and magnificent waterfalls. The 154 miles of the lakeshore comprises seven state parks. Each little picturesque town you drive through has a story to tell.

Don’t miss the Split Rock Lighthouse built in 1910, a museum of commercial fishing in Tofte and fur trading post in Grand Portage. The town of Grand Marais is a veritable arts center with galleries, a playhouse, and a folk school. Once in Duluth, check the Aerial Lift Bridge, old Depot train museum and the Great Lakes Aquarium.
