The crowds have gone home. The color hasn’t.

Along the shore, the birches and aspens hold their gold a little longer than they do inland, and the lake has turned that clear, cold October blue. The trails are quiet, the overlooks are yours, and the evenings are made for a fire.

We have cabins open this week and next. If you’ve been meaning to catch fall on the North Shore, this is the window, and it won’t stay open long.

Book your cabin today. Call (218) 834-5886

Wondering if now's the time to visit the North Shore of Lake Superior?

Scroll through and decide for yourself. 🍁

The hillsides are lit up in orange and red, the maples are glowing overhead, and the big lake is as blue as it gets. Color like this doesn't wait around.

We have weekday openings right now. That means quieter trails, overlooks to yourself, and a place on the water in Knife River to come back to.
