Grand Marais Harbor on Lake Superior

The Harbor of Grand Marais

This camera overlooks the sheltered Grand Marais harbor, a natural cove carved into the rugged North Shore of Lake Superior. Moored sailboats, kayaks and fishing vessels dot the calm inner basin, while a stone breakwater guards the entrance against the vast open water beyond.

Lighthouse & Waterfront

The Grand Marais Lighthouse stands at the tip of the breakwater, a beloved landmark of this artsy harbor town. Along the shore, the walkable downtown waterfront, gravel beach and lakeside paths draw visitors to one of Minnesota's most photogenic Great Lakes settings.

Life on the North Shore

Backed by the boreal forest of the Superior National Forest and the gateway to the Gunflint Trail, Grand Marais is a hub for paddlers, hikers and artists. The camera captures the ever-changing moods of Gitche Gumee — from glassy calm to the legendary Gales of Superior.
