Northern MN Trip

Howdy!

I'm in the early stages of planning my first "long distance" trip with my wife. While this will be our first trip we decided it would be best if we stay within a days ride from home. But, we plan to camp a couple nights and see some parts of MN that neither us have seen.

I roughly plotted the course on google maps, total is a about 800 miles. We'll head out from my in-laws place in Pequot, and end up in Hinckley to see a concert!

Take a look at the route here at let me know if anybody has any thoughts or suggestions!

If you have the time, cross into Wisconsin at Superior and go to Pattison State Park. It has the tallest waterfall in Wi. Then go back north a few miles and take WI105 to MN23. You can take that down towards Hinckley or take Mn210 and go thru Jay Cooke State Park. I like to stay off the Interstate, so I usually look for 2 lane options.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. My father-in-law stated that hwy 11 near the MN/Canada is pretty boring, so we may re-think things a bit.

You cant go wrong with the North Shore drive. but you could head over to Bayfield, Wi. area also. very nice spot.
