Grand Portage

The landscape around Grand Portage is a rugged, forested stretch of Lake Superior shoreline, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. At Minnesota’s northeastern tip, the community stands near Grand Portage Bay and the Canadian border, with the Pigeon River entering the lake nearby. Grand Portage National Monument interprets a major Ojibwe trading place and the historic 8.5-mile portage that voyageurs used to bypass the river’s rapids on journeys inland. The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa remains central to the community’s identity, while the vast lake and boreal forest define its northern setting.
