he Lutsen Tofte area is truly the heart of the Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior. Year-round vacations center around outdoor recreation -- downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, golf at Superior National, hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail and in the jewels of the state parks, canoe trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, biking, and horseback riding. Indoor pursuits like dining, shopping, and sitting by a fireplace or in a bubbling whirlpool are equally popular. Whether you come for a family vacation, a weekend away with friends, or for a romantic getaway, you’ll want to come back to enjoy another season, and another North Shore vacation.

Nestled against the ancient Sawtooth Mountains and wrapped around Lake Superior's breathtaking coast, the North Shore is simply magic. Few can resist its rugged shoreline, spectacular mountain backdrop, unspoiled wilderness, and the soothing, mesmerizing effect of the setting. Call it serene, peaceful, rejuvenating, powerful, breathtaking, or wild. No matter what words you choose, there will always be a special part of the experience that can only be felt, not spoken. Welcome to the North Shore Experience. It's another world here. Come and explore!
