Grand Portage State Park
"Grand Portage is the immediate community next to the park and the most convenient access point. Local visitors and border travelers use the park for quick scenic stops and short walks."
Grand Portage State Park is best known for High Falls, a 120-foot waterfall on the Pigeon River, reached by an accessible paved trail and viewing platforms. The park also offers forested river scenery, wildlife viewing, and a strong connection to Ojibwe and fur-trade history.
Judge C. R. Magney State Park
"Grand Portage visitors often seek additional outdoor attractions beyond the monument and harbor. The park provides a forested, waterfall-focused excursion that fits well with a North Shore road trip."
Judge C. R. Magney State Park is one of Minnesota's most distinctive North Shore parks, best known for the unusual Devil's Kettle waterfall and the scenic Brule River gorge. Visitors come for dramatic geology, forested trails, wildlife viewing, and a peaceful setting near Lake Superior.
