Sandwiched between sections of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and entirely within the Superior National Forest, Minnesota's Gunflint region is a rugged, remote place that demands a different lifestyle.
The Gunflint Trail is 57 miles of twisty road from Grand Marais, Minnesota to the Boundary Waters. It passes through stretches of pristine, rugged and remote wilderness that is still protected from commercial advertising. It is a special place with a rich history, unique landscape and very special characters from the Voyageurs to modem-day resorters-all of which make it a popular destination and a Minnesota treasure. Throughout its history, the Gunflint Trail has been home to a great number of remarkable residents, each of whom had a part in making the Gunflint what it is. Learn about the Gunflint's earliest inhabitants, the Voyageurs, mining attempts, the formation of the Trail, the forest and the development of resorts. Meet the people who helped define the Gunflint community: Justine Kerfoot, Henry Mayhew, Ben Gallagher, Eve Blankenburg, Peggy Heston and many others.
