Grand Portage State Park
Grand Portage State Park, on the U.S. – Canada border has the High Falls which drop 120 feet to the Pigeon River. “The falls, the highest in the state, presented a serious obstacle to river travel, so a “carrying place,” or portage, was necessary. American Indians created the ancient nine-mile trail from Lake Superior to bypass the falls. This trail became known as “The Grand Portage.” Today, visitors of all abilities can take a one-half mile trail and boardwalk to the falls overlook area.”
Interpretive displays provide an introduction to the culture and traditions of the Grand Portage Ojibwe people. Here is the Park website. Phone 218-475-2360 0.5 mile accessible trail and boardwalk leading to the High Falls Overlook.
