The drive up to Grand Portage is worth the trip! The visitor center and the tour through the fort was interesting. The people do a great job acting the parts. Makes it feel real.

We arrived at Grand Portage SF at mid-day, parked and toured the nature center. The guide was very helpful and my wife and I took the easy hike to the falls. A wonderfully well-kept trail lined with heavy fall foliage, birch and various trees all in color. The falls were magificent even with the seasonally low water. Take a jacket tho' as it sure was cold! I'm 80 and found the walk refreshing and easy. Really a recommended activity especially for photo enthusiasts!

Artifacts, life-size diaramas, historic documents, pamphlets, brochures, and walking tour of authentic and vintage buildings used during the early days of fur trading between the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

It is a drive but if you have a few hours to kill, it by far is a great way to see Canada without going over the border.

Hiking on a trail that was paved. Easy for me with recent surgery on knee. The falls was gorgeous, including the fall colors.

The park office and staff were so kind and helpful, the hike to the high falls viewing area is easy and beautiful along the way. Parking is more than adequate and the portions of the trails that are paved were a welcome sight after mostly dirt trail hiking all day!

Do visit here if you can, full of history with costumed guides , most intereswting and informative. Also some fabulous views and nice picnic spots.

WOW! The waterfalls are AMAZING. So beautiful! Paved trail is super nice as well! You definitely should go... WITH a camera!

There is a trail right outside the back of the visitor center just on the American side of the border crossing. Easy trail, some stairs at the end. Beautiful view of the falls. Also take the road back behind the Grand Portage Trading Post to visitor center. Walk across the road to a short trail that leads you to a reenactment area of a period fort for fur trading. Not sure if there is a cost, as we arrived at closing time and didn't go through it all, only saw the Indian area. However, we did hear it was a nice stop. But to do it first if you are going to Ft. William on the Canadian side.

This hike is along the Pigeon River which is the border between MN and Ontario. Beautiful visitor center in state park which is a cooperative effort between Ojibway/Chippewa and the state of Minnesota. The visitor center has clean bathrooms, a small but nice gift shop, and a nice picnic area, Signs for the trail are clearly marked. To the right of the visitor center is an overlook of the calm Pigeon River. Just above are 20 miles of falls, cascades, and rapids The Chippewa created a nine mile portage around this stretch of the Pigeon River which trappers and Voyageurs used to transport furs and other goods carrying 90 lb. packs up and back in 6 hours. The trail to the High Falls is 1/2 mile and is handicapped accessible to one of three overlooks. The other 2 overlooks have a short series of stairs.
