We left International Falls and headed toward Silver Bay, MN. We had visited this scenic area back in 2010 with our friends Kevin and Tammy. We were on motorcycle then and stayed at Cove Point Lodge. This time we stayed at Black Beach Campground a few miles up the road.

Silver Bay makes a nice base for exploring the area. Duluth is around an hour south and the Canadian border is about two hours north. In between are a number of state parks that dot the Lake Superior shoreline along with scenic waysides. Both parks and waysides have waterfalls more often than not as the rivers flow into Lake Superior.
Taconite was mined heavily in the area during WWII to extract the iron ore. It's the reason there are a number of small towns dotting the shoreline.
