LUTSEN SMALL TOWN, BIG ATTRACTIONS

Tucked along the Poplar River, between the Sawtooth Mountains and the shore of Lake Superior, Lutsen is Minnesota’s original getaway. It’s home to Minnesota’s first resort (Lutsen Resort), the Midwest’s largest ski area (Lutsen Mountains), and one of Minnesota’s most spectacular golf courses (Superior National). It’s no wonder why Lutsen remains one of Minnesota’s most sought-after vacation destinations.

The ridges along the Sawtooth Mountains boast some of the North Shore’s most beautiful views. The Lutsen-Tofte area is famous for its fall color thanks to the maple trees that stretch along this part of the Sawtooth Mountains. While you’re here, check out the local maple syrup makers!

In the winter enjoy outstanding alpine skiing, world-class Nordic ski trails, fat tire biking, and hundreds of miles of snowmobiling.

Be sure to visit the small, independent shops and services in downtown Lutsen where you can pick up almost anything from fishing lures to an engagement ring!
