Right on cue, storm season has arrived! Big waves came crashing into the Grand Marais MN harbor this afternoon. Here is just a little bit of that magic.

We received a LOT of rain last night, with reports of between 3-7” of rainfall! This means, the waterfalls are incredible!!! It also means you may encounter washouts on some roads or driveways or delays contacting your resorts as many are busy cleaning up debris or fixing communications systems. Please travel with caution, observe all closure signs, check MN511 for updates, and enjoy the waterfalls. https://511mn.org/@-91.80436,47.12746,9?show=metroTrafficMap,roadReports,weatherWarningsAreaEvents,stationsAlert,otherStateInfo

Visit Cook County MN

Cook County is located at the northeastern tip of Minnesota’s Arrowhead, with Lake Superior’s north shore on one side and the Sawtooth Mountains and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) on the other. The nearest large city is Duluth, Minnesota. We may be in northern Minnesota, but we’re easy to find and get to. Cook County, Minnesota is only four-and-a-half hours north of the Twin Cities. We’re also easy to reach from the Iron Range, Chicago, Thunder Bay, Madison and other areas in the Upper Midwest and beyond.

Lutsen-Tofte-Schroeder, Minnesota

Strung along the Lake Superior shore like beads on a necklace, the communities of Lutsen, Tofte and Schroeder serve as the southern gateway to Cook County, Minnesota. This region is the perfect vacation destination, whether you’re looking for romance, adventure, relaxation or family fun. It all happens here, where the great Lake Superior meets the ancient Sawtooth Mountain Range. There’s always something new to explore.
