Lake superior’s 1,200 mile circle tour is arguably the best scenic
drive out of all of the Great Lakes circle tours, but the attractions
are just as competitive, with the Great Lakes aquarium, fishing
charters and boating options, lodging and many more amenities
and events available, especially during the summer hours.
Visit the split Rock Lighthouse for spectacular views and history
on what it’s like to be a light keeper, or head to the Lake superior
Provincial Park in ontario for amazing rock formations and steep
cliffs. the circle tour itself winds through Canada as well, so make
sure you’re willing to cross borders before planning your trip.
take a tour of the harbor via Vista Fleet tours, located in Duluth,
Minnesota. Vista Fleet offers up several tours that vary in length,
so they can accommodate anyone, from small children who want
pizza, to adults who would prefer to splurge on a dinner cruise.
the ships offer great views and the tours can last anywhere from
45 minutes to a few hours, depending on your preference. the
tours are complete with the history of the area and are very inform-
ative while you’re taking pictures and enjoying refreshments.
Weave your way in and around the Great Lakes and experience
some of the most popular attractions, and keep an eye out for
those less-popular hidden gems. Whether you’re looking for
something to keep the kids entertained, or if you would just like to
relax from shoreline to shoreline, you’ll find that there is something
for everyone on the banks of every Great Lake!
