Book Description

May 1999
From the port city of Duluth to Grand Portage National Monument near the Canadian border, the North Shore of Lake Superior is a favorite travel destination, popular for its breathtaking natural beauty, abundant outdoor recreation choices, and rich history. In this comprehensive and chatty guidebook, a longtime resident looks at the best places to eat, drink, play, and relax.

Nina’s North Shore Guide covers accommodations, outdoor activities, dining, and shopping, with sections describing area history and shipwrecks, the natural environment, and recreational options. This second edition has been completely updated (including Internet addresses for many of the North Shore attractions and lodgings), and a more convenient format makes this guidebook better than ever. Graced throughout with beautiful woodcuts by Minnesota illustrator Betsy Bowen (Antler, Bear, Canoe), Nina’s North Shore Guide is so complete it will delight even the most frequent visitors to the region with new discoveries.

"This book accomplishes the near impossible: it’s attractive, well-organized, just about as complete as it could be, and at the same time it’s small enough to be quite portable. And did I mention readability? Nina’s personality shines through, making it a fun read as well." Minnesota Monthly

5.0 out of 5 stars A witty and comprehensive guide to Minnesota's North Shore, August 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Nina's North Shore Guide: Big Lake, Big Woods, Big Fun (Paperback)
Nina's book goes far beyond the "where to eat, where to shop, where to stay" standard of so many guides. It talks about the shipwrecks of Lake Superior, the geological landscape, rivers and waterfalls, outdoor activities (including curling and watching the stars) and where to locate the nearest liquor store! It is obvious that she loves her neighborhood, and this book helps you to explore more than the surface. A must read for anyone headed up Highway 61 - and a great gift for those who live there.
