The Gunflint Trail was designated as a State Scenic Byway not too long ago. A scenic byway is an automotive route on which people generally enjoy traveling that also reflects the intrinsic qualities of the area.
In our case, the Gunflint Trail is rich in wildlife, natural forest, history. Along this road are great places to stop and visit with it is wilderness, lake or lodge. This past summer several rest areas have been added at with picnic tables and latrines.
I never get tired of driving on the Gunflint Tail. Even if it takes me 45 minutes just to get to the grocery or library (longer in the winter), I enjoy the drive regardless of the season. You never know if you will see a moose or a wolf. The wildflowers along the road are constantly changing during the summer seasons and the view of the trees, no matter the season is magnificent. This road well deserves its designation as a scenic byway.
