The Grand Portage State Park is a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers. The highlight of the park is the Pigeon River which serves as the international border between the United States and Canada. The Pigeon River has an impressive array of wildlife and provides stunning views of the surrounding borderlands. The park also contains several hiking trails, camping sites, and a beautiful waterfall. One interesting fact about the Pigeon River is that it was an important waypoint for fur traders who used to transport goods through this route. The Grand Portage National Monument located nearby commemorates this rich history and culture. Comparing this place with other state parks in Minnesota, I found that the Pigeon River adds an extra bit of charm to the park, making it unique and captivating.
