It doesn’t get better than summer on Lake Superior! Lake Superior’s natural air conditioning keeps us cool so we can have fun exploring. There are dozens of options whether you want to stay on-site at Solbakken or hop in your car to explore the area.
Explore the Lake Superior Shore
Solbakken Resort is right on Lake Superior. Our ledgerock shoreline is perfect for sitting and admiring the endless expanse of the biggest lake in the world. Explore the ancient rock formations that disappear at the water’s edge.
The North Shore has many places to access Lake Superior beaches nearby. Some beaches have ledgerock, others have large cobblestones, and others have small pebbles. Rock skipping, agate hunting, and relaxing by the water are some of the most popular things to do.
