Lake Superior is the world's largest freshwater lake. It stretches 380 miles east to west and 160 miles across at its widest.
There are 22 Minnesota streams tumbling their way into Lake Superior making a trip up the shore a waterfall lover's paradise.
GRAND PORTAGE STATE PARK
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."
