Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply

I have posted many pictures of the High Falls at grand Portage Sate Park. I try to get there maybe once a month and like to see it from both sides of the border. Last night it was from the US side. I like to see it when it is roaring and when it is more sedate….if that is the correct term. And last night it is more sedate. And by the way, the weather is cool. I was wearing a jacket. And the air was clear.

Over the last six years there has been an increase in the number of visitors to our country's wild spaces. While this poses challenges on management, we think it's a great thing! We could all use a little more exposure to nature in our lives. 💚
If your plans change, go ahead and cancel your reservation and open it up for someone else. Sharing is caring!

Those of you who follow Stone Harbor know that one of my favorite spots is the High Falls on the Pigeon River on the Canadian border. Today I visited it once again from the US side of the border. And now that I am retired I really should spend more time visiting my favorite waterfalls

We got an update this week from the US Forest Service that the food storage order for the Boundary Waters has been extended for another five years. These best "bear aware" practices have proven to significantly lower the risk of bear/human interactions. Following the guidelines by storing anything that might attract wildlife, like food and toiletries, hung in a tree or stored in a certified bear resistant container makes our beloved wilderness safer for both humans and bears. We can all do our part!
