To say that the North Shore is a hidden gem is truly an understatement. Just north of the outdoorsy city of Duluth is the North Shore with limitless hiking, biking and water activities. Tetagouche is a true favorite of mine as there is about a 50 minute hike that takes you along the ridge looking out on Lake Superior. The views would make you think that you are in Scotland. Another favorite is Split Rock Lighthouse as they have a great bike trail that glides you above the lake and then takes you down to the water where you can look back and get a great glimpse of the lighthouse. If you get a chance to get out onto the water, maybe you can find yourself on a kayak to be able to feel as if you are on the ocean.
