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.

The historical objects and the stories told on the walls and by the museum worker were phenomenal. I loved learning about the Ojibwe people, culture and history and I can't believe how much I learned. It is amazing to have a museum exist like this. They also showed a section about the French fur traders and there were cool maps and incredible objects to see there too. The museum worker was so kind and he also told us really amazing stories and history that wasn't just in the museum. He really made it a special experience as well, I forgot to ask hiI highly recommend this museum for anyone staying at Madeline Island, it really makes you realize what a special place it is for so many reasons. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

You can easily spend an afternoon here if you go through the exhibits, watch the film, shop at the…read moregift store, and walk on the trails surrounding the building. About half of the building is dedicated to a very educational museum about the ecosystem of this region, the native peoples who live here, and how they were impacted by the fur trade. Upstairs is a rotating art exhibit about the region. You can climb the winding staircase to the upper tower of the building (or take the elevator) so that you gaze upon the wetlands and forests nearby. There's a 3/4 mile boardwalk that takes you though the conifer forest, sedge march, and grassy fields where you can take a rest on the benches and animal watch. Lots of red wing blackbirds were there with their recognizable calls. Very educational.

Overall the staff were nice, it had some nice trails in the area, and there was a cool lookout at the very top. They also had a "night" hike that same day so we came back later in the evening for that. Unfortunately, the sun was only just setting, so we didn't get to experience a true night hike. Maybe next time!

We had visited the Depot in Duluth and seen the North Shore Scenic Railroad departure point, so we were looking forward to visit the Two Harbors Depot Museum, where the NSSR train stops for its northernmost point. The depot is located in the 1907 headquarters of the Duluth and Iron Range Railway Company. It's been charmingly restored, with ticket booths and telephone operator stations still intact. There are several different areas of displays, covering everything from military service to local culture at the turn of the last century. The museum has a gift shop and bathrooms available. Be aware of the timing of your visit; if you arrive at the same time the NSSR train does, there will be many passengers lining up to use those bathrooms, as the train is historic and does not have lavatory facilities. We were able to see the train pull into the station and, after its rest stop, hear that most lovely sound--a train whistle signaling "All Aboard!" The Depot Museum is definitely worth a stop for all visitors to Two Harbors!
