Description of  Nina's North Shore Guide: Big Lake, Big Woods, Big Fun

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
