Lutsen & Grand Marais
Activities
LUTSEN. Best skiing in the midwest but also fun in the summer when you can ride the Alpine Slide, take the Gondola to a mountaintop restaurant or hike the SHT. You can also catch the paved Gitchi Gammi bike trail at the foot of the road leading up to Lutsen Mountains. https://www.lutsen.com

Tofte. Nice ~1 hour loop hiking trail that is moderate difficulty with gorgeous overlooks. Good for older kids but be ready to hold little hands on some high cliffs.

Local Fishing Guide
Joe is an amazing local guide for fishing - and you will catch fish! Call him (no website, he's low tech :) He has the boat and will bring all gear, bait, knows the local spots, and is SO great with kids and people who are perhaps not the greatest fisher people. (He baited all our kids' hooks, took the fish off our hooks when we caught them, and cleaned them for us to take home!)
