Tower

Lake Vermilion defines the setting of Tower — its broad, island-studded waters and forested shorelines give daily life a distinctly seasonal, lake-country tempo. Established during the 1880s as the Vermilion Range iron-mining district expanded, Tower retains close ties to the industry that brought workers and rail connections to northeastern Minnesota. Nearby, Lake Vermilion–Soudan Underground Mine State Park preserves a former iron mine and recounts the work carried out beneath the Vermilion Range. In warmer months, boating and fishing set the local rhythm, while winter brings a quieter northern-Minnesota character. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Minnesota.
