Grand Portage State Park

A must see if you are in the area!

Love the views there they were just absolutely amazing with those waterfalls highly recommend going make sure you bring bug spray

It's a drive, but worth the stop. Park has been busy. There is an elevated trail (handicap accessible but a little steep) plus 2 additional overlooks with stairs. Bring bug spray!

Really beautiful place. There's a visitor center, basically a rest area type building, which has very nice information about the surrounding location and some history of the place. Restrooms are very clean. Outside there's lawn and some benches etc. Parking is good and ample space. We went there really early morning so, literally there was noone when we went there. It was quite and beautiful. Later when we finished our trail walk and falls viewing etc, a couple of cars came and some people started coming, but still it wasn't too busy as such.There's a 'Narrow Trail' which leads through woods and reaches the High Falls on Pigeon River. The trail is a good paved narrow road (not for vehicles) and later it is a built wooden trail with steps going towards falls viewing point. AND the view from there is simply gorgeous and can't be explained in words, even pictures don't show the actual magnificence of that grandeur. This falls is Minnesota's tallest fall. And yes, the whole area is spectacular. The trails are well maintained. We saw a fox there on the trail (but when he saw us from far away he quickly ran away in the woods), we didn't do any inappropriate behavior and remained normal. Of course please don't approach wild life (definitely NOT for taking pictures etc) as they might get stressed out. We were walking there in the morning (say early morning) and the area was beautiful, we loved our experience !! And ya, on the otherside of the Pigeon River there's Canada we can see !!

Great place great views
