Dear John,

One of the gateways to the Boundary Waters is the artsy and outdoorsy community of Grand Marais in Cook County, Minnesota. With some of the most breathtaking views of Lake Superior, and only minutes away from the Boundary Waters Wilderness, many of us know that this area is an adventurer's dream. 

“I draw inspiration from the rare beauty of the [Gunflint] Trail and the opportunity of living near the shores of Lake Superior.”

- Katie Mumm, Wildlife Photographer on the Gunflint Trail

The Boundary Waters has a substantial economic impact on this regional economy and helps to generate $969 million in revenue per year and sustains more than 17,000 jobs that local families and businesses rely on.

The wilderness-edge lifestyle this region offers creates the foundation for a stable and sustainable economy. The natural amenities attract entrepreneurs, tourists, trades workers, artists, retirees, businesses, nonprofits, and others while retaining residents who might consider moving elsewhere. There are so many incredible businesses and inspiring individuals who live in the region! Pollution from copper mining would impact all businesses in the Arrowhead region that rely on a healthy Boundary Waters Wilderness.

Be sure to check out some of the Boundary Waters Business Coalition members near Grand Marais, including Hungry Jack Outfitter, Rockwood Lodge, Birchwood Wilderness Camp, Bearskin Lodge, Wilderness Canoe Base, Sydney’s Frozen Custard and Wood Fired Pizza, Lake Superior Trading Post, Angry Trout Cafe and more!
