Gunflint Trail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gunflint Trail is a 57-mile paved roadway that begins in Grand Marais, Minnesota and ends at Seagull Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA), near the US border with Ontario, Canada. Originally a foot path for travellers from inland lakes to Lake Superior, the trail was eventually widened into a road. It now serves as a route to lodges, outfitters, hiking trails, homes for a small number of people numbering in the hundreds, and the lakes and rivers of the BWCA. Its numerical designation is Cook County Highway 12.
