Come ride the North Shore of Lake Superior

When we say The Minnesota North Shore Tour, we mean it! This tour is 100% along the shore of Lake Superior, from Duluth to the Canada border. You’ll enjoy overnight stays in Two Harbors, Beaver Bay and Lutsen, and finally in Grand Marais by Thursday night. There’s great cycling along Highway 61, and we also ride on paved bike trail and parkway when available. Click here to see the full tour itinerary.

You’ll love riding along the shore of Lake Superior. You’ll see freighters on Lake Superior, famous cliffs and lighthouses, and about a thousand rivers. Off-bike sights include Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse. We even have a canoe trip scheduled at Lutsen River.

The Dining

Our guests never go lacking for food. Included in the tour are breakfast M-F, and supper on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. The North Shore has an unexpected and amazing variety of pubs and restaurants along the way for your support. In addition, we maintain a list of the best brew pubs, just in case that appeals to you.

The Lodging

Your tour ticket includes lodging Saturday through Wednesday night. We’ve selected our hotel partners based on careful vetting and past experience. Camp 61 in Beaver Bay is one of our favorite inns. No two rooms are alike, and they even have a restaurant and pub. Further up the road, you might stay at Naniboujou Lodge, a 90-year old historic building with wonderful décor. These are just two examples of our lodging.

The Unexpected

Wildflowers all around. A chance to see deer and other animals. Freighters on Lake Superior. Wonderful cafes and bistros with craft beer and great food. Bridges and rivers and more bridges, and a foreign country at the end. Please come along, you’ll be glad you did!

Live Large

We designed this tour with a modest daily mileage, because there are so many sights along the route. You’ll probably be off & on the bikes all day. Even so, we recognize that a few of you will need more miles, and we’ve got them! Each day will have extra routes for the bold, and we even have pre- and post-tour self-guided rides in Duluth. The 150 miles in the tour could become 350!
