Granite River Day Trip

Trip Overview

This is part of the famed Voyageurs Route that early explorers ran to trade and trap furs from the interior of the continent and ship out through the Great Lakes to be sold to the fashionable elite on the East Coast and Europe. This route starts from Gunflint Lake and through the Magnetic Narrows. In Magnetic Lake you’ll paddle past the fairytale chalet on Gallagher’s Island and portage along Granite Falls, then runs down the Granite River. If you are a comfortable river canoer, this route will make you feel right at home. There are a few portages, but they generally aren’t tough and the scenery is spectacular. You’ll see evidence of the Ham Lake Fire of 2007, which increases your chance of spotting moose in the new young growth and produces fabulous blueberries in July and August. A packed lunch is provided.
