The beautiful Oberg Mountain Scenic Overlook and hiking trail, a must-see during leaf changing season. Temperance River State Park has a free picnic and swimming area on the lake shore and great walks past spectacular waterfalls. Drive up the shore toward Grand Marais and you will find Cascade River State Park. The Gitchi Gami Bike Trail goes right in front of Chateau Le Veaux and runs parallel to Highway 61. The Lutsen Mountains recreation area and North Shore Winery are 5 miles away and offer both winter and summer activities including skiing, the alpine slide, and a scenic gondola up to the Moose Mountain Summit.
Enjoy the many restaurants and live music offered year-round on the mountain.  On the Lakeside of Highway 61 on the way to Lutsen, the Historic Lutsen Lodge offers a beautiful dining room and casual bar/café for dining as well as a lovely trail across the beach and Poplar River.

Another mile past the Lutsen ski hill, golf course and Lutsen Lodge turnoffs, you will discover the little village of Lutsen with more shopping and the Fika coffee shop.
