They also have some neat historical info on the area and the history of mining around Silver Bay. It's well put together and definitely a place to stop and read all the signs at for an hour! The gentlemen working there was very lovely to chat with! They had pamphlets on local things to do as well:)

After you see that, walk down to the shore and capture a beautiful picture of the lighthouse from there.

A great campground along the North Shore. We stayed at cart in site 17, you're right on the cliffs…read moreso the view is beautiful. It's a pretty spacious site as well with a private bench that overlooks the lake. The walk in is about 5 minutes but there is a slight incline towards the sites so not a bad walk but with a cart full of stuff you might be feeling it. Beware of the flies!! The flies were so awful at our site, not sure if that's the case with the other sites but we decided to do a hike mid day because we couldn't relax at the site without a swarm of flies around us. we probably won't go back to this site because of that. The site has a bear box but critters can still get inside!! we have some of our food nibbled on both nights so they definitely know there way around. Pebble beach is beautiful, busy at times but great for relaxing, dipping your toes in or enjoying a picnic. Speaking of picnics, they have a designated "picnic area" that has a pavilion, an inside multipurpose room, flush toilets and plenty of picnic tables along the shoreline. It's not my favorite campsite along the North Shore, but still beautiful and worth the visit.

When Highway 61 was built, it replaced a road that went quite a bit out of the way to avoid the…read moremountains and cliffs here at Silver Creek. And after then 1920's, there was a narrow two-lane road that went along the cliff's edge. It was rather dramatic as it included the danger of rocks and boulders falling from the cliff walls overhead. This happened more and more often until the folks at the Minnesota DOT decided that it would be easier to just build THROUGH the mountain instead of going around it. It took over three years of dynamite blasting to remove over half a million cubic feet of rock to construct the tunnel. The tunnel opened in 1994. The old road is still here and it's a walking/biking path that includes the Gitchi Gami trail that has some spectacular views of Lake Superior. There is a small parking lot on the north side of the tunnel on the east side of the road. There is no toll to use the tunnel. [Review 17889 overall - 109 in Minnesota - 1410 of 2022.]

The road to drive up was closed for the winter so we hiked up the small mountain which took around 15 minutes. But during (not the winter season LOL) the road is open to drive up for gorgeous views of Lake Superior. Definitely a must stop you have to make while driving up the MN North Shore.
