The Arrowhead, north of Duluth city, is the most popular region
in Northern Minnesota. The famous Hwy-61 travels across the
Arrowhead, bordering Superior Lake, and offering many family
oriented resorts and sites with lots of hiking trails, ski trails,
snowmobile, lakes to fishing, camping, swimming and boating. In

WHAT TO
VISIT IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Map of Northern Minnesota »»
Bordering the Hwy 61 and the Lake Superior, north Duluth,
you will find idyllic views and excellent resorts for camping,
fishing, canoeing, snowmobiling, skiing and hiking. Grand
Marais, a small city in Hwy 61, is a major hub in this
region (as it is Duluth).
West of Grand Marais, between this town and Ely, you will
find the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the
Gunflit Trail. The Iron Range is another highlight in
this region.
More in the North, the Voyageurs National Park (near
International Falls) is a prime travel site for skiers and
snowmobilers (in winter) and for lake-wild life lovers (there
are daily cruises from early May to late September in the Rainy
Lake).
BEST TIME TO
VISIT NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Summer is the best time to visit
Northern Minnesota, namely July and August, unless you want to
enjoy winter sports and outdoors.
Some activities (cruises in lakes...) are often limited to the
spring-Autumn period.
June and September are also good months, but meteorological
conditions are much more unstable.
The possibilities of
snow and harsh meteorological conditions are high even in Spring
and Autumn.
Visitors shoukd bring layers of
clothing and rain gear, and lake-sports lovers should bring both wet
and dry suits, even in Summer (weather is rather changeable).
Summer temperatures around 75-80ºF (24-27ºC) during the day and 55ºF (13ºC) at
night.
WHEN
NOT
TO GO TO
NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Winter temperatures of
-10ºF/-24ºC are
very common. So,
avoid the winter
months, unless you are a snow-sports lover.
Avoid also months as April and May, or October and
November - winter harshness and disruptions may easily extend to
these months. Even winter sports may be disrupted by the severity of
the weather.
