ART FESTIVALS, FAIRSAND
sales join studios and galleries in
promoting local, regional and national
works. Stop at the local visitor center
and inquire about showings, sales,
events, openings and tours.
Music flourishes on the shore.
Musicians find stages at local taverns,
restaurants, lodges, arts centers and
are showcased at festivals and across
the local radio waves.Watch for posters
and ask at check-in who is playing
where. If you’re musically inclined,
watch for open-mic nights, too!
Art is not limited to a gallery or event.
Artisans display their work in seasonal
gardens and snow sculptures, charming
storefronts, public statues and murals
and at readings and salons. It is not
unusual to come across painters
working on a landscape, photographers
capturing a moment, a group of knitters
and weavers working their craft and
even a lone bagpiper playing for the
big lake. Take the time to treat yourself
to someone else’s interpretation of the
beauty of the shore.
When is a trail a road and when is it something else? Good question!
The four trails that are roads are all in Cook County, [83.4] Sawbill,
[93.0] Caribou, [110.0] Gunflint and [127.0] Arrowhead and only the
Gunflint is entirely paved. The Gitchi Gami bike trail runs parallel
Highway 61 and is paved, while the Superior Hiking trail is really a
path through the woods inland from Highway 61 and definitely not
paved. See page 25 for more about hiking and page 17 for biking, and
check out the handy map inside the back cover and plan a drive up
the trails... er... roads.
