Grand Marais Accolades

Yesterday’s Star Tribune had a section on The Best of Minnesota. It is really nice to see that a few of the Grand Marais attractions made the cut. The New York Times has also taken notice of another of our local attractions.

From a New Ulm Guy

Those who know me know that I am from the New Ulm area. This is a beautiful town in a valley formed by the Minnesota River. I spent many hours fishing, hiking canoeing and camping on the Minnesota River and it’s tributaries.

Summer is almost here

The ice is still here and yes, it has been trying to snow, but we know summer is almost here. How you ask? As you walk past our harbor and on our streets, you see that some of our favorite places are opening their doors for summer.
