Summary

Description

The Point is a broad tombolo is at the end of a small peninsula that extends from Grand Marais, MN into Lake Superior, on Feb. 28, 2018. The peninsulas define the two natural harbors that have made Grand Marais an important sport on Lake Superior's shores for centuries. The 8.4-acre Point was conveyed to the federal government in 1942 as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) Superior National Forest (NF). The small area is rich in cultural and natural history. Its location has attracted a number of human settlers. But also hosts a large number of birds and unusual plant species.

Superior NF was established in 1909, the Superior is known for its boreal forest ecosystem, numerous clean lakes, and a colorful cultural history. Management by the USDA-Forest Service, under principles of ecosystem management and multiple use, the Forest provides for a diverse community of plants and animals as well as products for human needs. The concept of "all lands" management maintains strong partnerships and collaboration across the landscape. Popular recreational activities include fishing, hunting, camping, canoeing, swimming, hiking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and ice fishing. Superior NF System is 2,174,993 acres.
