Winter on the North Shore


winter and wander
Winter on the North Shore: Experience the quiet magic of the forests and ever-changing moods of Lake Superior. Take a journey by Nordic ski, snowshoe, or fat tire bike: the trails are groomed and ready. Fire up the sled and ride like a kid—or bring the kids—for the quintessential snowmobiling experience.
SO MUCH SNOW, so many twists and turns, so many memories. Stoke a fire by a lodge. Sip hot cocoa and sing songs of the season. Let your light shine bright in the dark, cold night under infinite starry skies. Travel with sled dogs. Ice fish the endless inland lakes. Hunker down in a stunningly remote winter camp or surprisingly cozy cabin overlooking the shores of Lake Superior.
