Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts

Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

We are excited to have you join us at our wedding! Unlike your typical wedding, we will be traveling to a town called Grand Marais, Minnesota. Madeline and her family have been traveling to Grand Marais for her whole life. A few years ago, Jackson went on their family vacation and fell in love with the city. Its a small town that lies on the coast of Lake Superior and is about a 45 minute drive from the border of Canada. It is surrounded by tremendous forestry and waterfalls that will take your breath away.For this trip you can plan on arriving to the North Shore on Sunday, July 13th and depart on Saturday, July 19th. You may choose to split your trip into two days, we recommend staying in Duluth or Minneapolis. The wedding will be held in a neighboring town called Tofte, MN at the Bluefin Bay Family of Resorts. Below you will find a map of the city of Grand Marais. We hope to have your company to help us celebrate and enjoy a trip of a lifetime!

Q + A

Below you will find some links for places to stay while in Minnesota. We recommend booking your hotel sooner rather than later to guarantee your choice of lodging.

We presume many family and friends would be interested in fishing while on vacation. Here is a list of lodging that offers guided fishing experiences. Besides these, there are many other opportunities to find guided fishing experiences in the Cook County area. PLEASE BE SURE TO AQUIRE A FISHING LICENSE IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA PRIOR TO THE TRIP IF YOU INTEND ON FISHING DURING YOUR STAY.

Travel

Lutsen Mountain during the summer offers alpine slides which is fun for family members of all ages. Highly recommended activity to do during your stay.Open 11am-6pmCost ~ $17 for one ride, ~$50 for ~$54 unlimited rides per person

Lutsen Mountains

Take a hike up to the Devils Kettle waterfall! The falls are known for the mystery that lies beneath them. It's not yet known where the water ends up that comes from the top falls. Despite using typical tracking techniques such as iodine to find where it ends up, there was never any luck finding the water. Be warned! This hike includes lots of stairs but is still doable for most.

Judge C.R. Magney State Park

Gooseberry Falls is another favorite of ours. This park has several different falls, and some you can even walk across. The falls are along the drive up to Grand Marais and can be done on a travel day.

The Gunflint Trail is a scenic driven trail that has many different activities to offer. You can find lakes and streams here that offer canoeing and fishing among other things. Warning! The trail does not have cell phone service as it is fairly remote. If you get lost, turn around and head back to town, there is only the main road and the sites off of it. It takes approximately 2 hours before hitting the end of the trail.

Grand Marais is on Lake Superior which provides a rocky terrain along the cast. There is plenty of opportunity for exploring the area and venturing off. Much of the area is up for public use, including the campground, lighthouse, and man-made rock islands.
