Grand Portage National Monument: High Falls
built 264 days ago
Grand Portage is located approximately 150 miles northwest of Duluth, Minnesota and 50 miles south of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The Site lies ½ mile to 1 mile south of the West and East exits of Minnesota State Highway 61 in the village of Grand Portage.
Extraordinary contrasts contribute to Grand Portage Lodge and Casino's unique and special charm. Visitors can walk or ski a peaceful trail, climb a mountain to enjoy a spectacular vista...and later experience the fast action of Live Blackjack. They can feel the fabled stillness of a place the Chippewa long ago identified as magic, then surround themselves with the jingle-jangle of rows and rows of Video Slot Machines. Listening to stories around a crackling campfire can be followed by the delights of gaming under a shimmering chrome and neon ceiling. Waiting patiently to spot a moose can provide as much eager anticipation as listening for the call of a winning High-Stakes Bingo number.
In 2005 the SMSC awarded Grand Portage a grant for $1 million for renovation of the Grand Portage Lodge. In 2003 the SMSC awarded them a $1.5 million economic development grant for a new, modern trading post and convenience store on Highway 61 in front of Grand Portage Lodge and Casino in northeastern Minnesota.
