June 2025
The North Shore is filled with plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors, from canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters, to thru-hiking the Superior Hiking Trail. However, sometimes it’s nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the North Shore at a slower pace, especially in the summer when days are longer and the weather is warm. This month is our Lounge Around issue.
We cover many leisurely activity options for those who want a more laid-back style of travel, including visiting one of the many state parks in our area, or taking a train that winds along the St. Louis River. With summer on its way, there are plenty of events to keep the whole family busy this month.
Of course, June also means celebrating all the wonderful dads out there, with Father’s Day on June 15. Gord Ellis dedicates his Northern Trails column to his dad and namesake, Gord Senior.
There’s so much more hidden within these pages, but I’ll let you discover it at your leisure.
