Grand Portage National Monument
Grand Portage National Monument includes the archeological remains with several reconstructed fur trade era buildings inside a stockade of the supply depot on Lake Superior, the site of Fort Charlotte on the Pigeon River and the Grand Portage footpath connecting the two posts. Grand Portage continues to be home place for the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, of tribal and family history and cultural persistence.

Ice Age National Scenic Trail
The Ice Age National Scenic Trail travels through the edges of the glacier that passed into Wisconsin.

Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor
The Illinois and Michigan Canal, completed in 1848, connected the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River watershed along a longstanding Indian portage route. It rapidly transformed Chicago from a small settlement to a critical transportation hub between the East and the developing Midwest.

Isle Royale National Park
Wolves and moose, the wild North Woods forest, everchanging weather and a cool climate, and the crystal clear waters and rugged shoreline of Lake Superior characterize Isle Royale National Park.

Keweenaw National Historical Park
Keweenaw National Historical Park preserves the heritage of copper mining in this unique setting amid many of the original structures and landscapes of the copper era.

North Country National Scenic Trail

Pipestone National Monument
The story of this stone and the pipes made from it spans four centuries of Plains Indian life. The pipestone here is quarried by anyone of Indian ancestry. An age-old tradition continues in the modern world.

Saint Croix National Scenic River
Canoe amid the northwoods, where wolves, deer, otter and porcupine can be seen or boat surrounded by wooded bluffs and historic towns. The river's past can also be seen on the landscape; a stone wall, a steel ring, a cabin or a metal bridge recalls earlier times.

Voyageurs National Park
The park represents some of the oldest exposed rock formations in the world. The topography of the park is rugged and varied; rolling hills are interspersed between bogs, beaver ponds, swamps, islands, small lakes and four large lakes. Voyageurs is a water based park.
