The beautiful, undeveloped shore of Lake Superior, popular for quiet walks, rock hunting, or more vigorous activity, is just minutes away. Miles of sand dunes and tumbled rocks, including some of the world's oldest agates, and plenty of room to roam await you.
If you were able to walk the entire shoreline of Lake Superior, your trek
would cover 2,726 miles. About 90% of that shoreline is forested and
relatively uninhabited. The south shore of the lake near Deer Park Lodge is a great place to sample its beauty and grandeur.
Did you know?
Lake Superior, at 350 miles long and 160 miles wide, is so large you can't see across it. With a surface area of nearly 32,000 square miles it is the world's largest freshwater lake. So large, in fact, it could contain all the other Great Lakes plus three more lakes the size of Lake Erie.
It contains enough water (three quadrillion gallons) it could flood all of North and South America to a depth of one foot.
There are 58 species of orchids native to the Lake Superior basin. In North America, only Florida has more.
Many shipwrecks in Lake Superior are now protected in bottomland preserves and accessible to recreational divers.
