highway 61 little marais north shore

 

Two Tiny Towns

mile 62.0

Illgen City is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, two-business town at the crossroads of Hwy 61 and MN Hwy 1. By comparison, Little Marais bustles over its three miles with shops and lodging choices and the other entry/return point from Finland. Very friendly shopkeepers!
