Two Harbors, Minnesota: Quiet Town Along Lake Superior

Two Harbors sits on the shores of the largest freshwater lake in the world: Lake Superior. It’s the top draw for most visitors, many of whom are lured by the Split Rock Lighthouse that juts over the water on a scenic crag. Gooseberry Falls State Park also occupies a prime spot along the lake, featuring three gorgeous waterfalls created by Gooseberry River’s lakeward trajectory through a rocky gorge. The park also features 20 miles of hiking trails and 15 miles of paved bike paths, many of which feature views of the falls.

Just 25 miles to the south sits Duluth, named the “Best Outdoors Town in America” by Outside magazine in 2014. Along the edge of the water, Duluth’s Lakewalk attracts joggers, bicyclists, and skaters, as well as provides access to the city’s waterfront pubs, ice cream parlors, and shops. For a night on the town, head to Canal Park, a warehouse district where the buildings have been converted into restaurants, cafes, and shops. Canal Park also sits near the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center, whose interactive maritime exhibits greet over 400,000 out-of-towners annually.
