Is the Gunflint Trail on Lake Superior?
The beginning of the Gunflint Trail is in the town of Grand Marais, which is located on the shore of Lake Superior. Once you leave Grand Marais on Country Road 12 (The Gunflint Trail) you will be driving away from Lake Superior, but in the first few miles of your drive up the Trail, you will have some stunning overlooks of Lake Superior and the Grand Marais harbor.
