Moose and wildlife viewing. The Superior National Forest is home to a vast variety of animals. Hear the call of the Loon and watch them dive in the water through the summer months. Spot a moose in the local ponds while enjoying the fall colors. Catch a glimpse of a red fox scurrying through the snow in the winter. Watch otters play on the lake as the ice begins to melt away in the spring.
Blueberry Picking. The summer months bring us wild berry season! Hit the trails with a container in hand and gather enough for a quick snack or make wild berry pie, muffins, and jam. Visit Cook County hosts an annual Biggest Blueberry Contest with prizes! Read more here.
Bird Watching. The Gunflint Trail is a haven for birders. Every season brings a change of bird song to be heard. Check out Visit Cook County’s Birding Guide (pdf) and the Superior National Forest’s Bird Info and Checklist (pdf).
