Skip Sven & Ole's pizza. Hughie's Taco House is the place to go! Gunflint Tavern is good, Voyageur Brewing is the place for beer, and Angry Trout Cafe is fantastic (though spendy). Just chilling out on Artists' Point is great. Good place to have a picnic lunch. I am not sure if they have day classes, but check out the North House Folk School. South of Grand Marais is Cascade River SP (20-min drive), Temperance River SP (30-min drive and worth hiking around), and Tettegouch SP (60-min drive Shovel Point and Palisade Head). North of Grand Marais in Judge Magney SP is Devils Kettle (20-min drive) |

It's not exactly north shore but Canal Park in Duluth deserves honorable mention. Also if you are traveling up I 35 the Hinkley Fire Museum is a good place for a stretch break. I do like hiking in Tettegouche SP |

: "We also went to the black sand beach around silver bay. Had been meaning to go there for years and its a cool beach with black sand just like it says and a nice picnic area if you want to spend some time there." The correct kind of marketing does wonders. A couple of years ago when I told my mother I visited Black Beach, she asked me if I thought it was safe. I do. The beach is actually the eastern edge of the tailings delta created in the 1960s and 70s. |

Brando: "I know I can’t drive past Gills smokehouse without stopping in!" Gill's is permanently closed (according to Google Maps), but I can recommend Russ Kendall's Smokehouse on old 61 (Scenic Drive). The smoked whitefish is outstanding! |
