A Winter Getaway To Minnesota’s Snowiest Town Is Nothing Short Of Magical
Although Duluth may be the snowiest city of consequence in the state, Minnesota’s snowiest town is almost always a community tucked against the Lake Superior highlands along its north shore. Lutsen, for example, regularly receives more snow – not counting what they make at the eponymous ski resort – than most other places in the state, making it one of Minnesota’s snowiest towns.
It will come as a surprise to almost no one who lives here that the township of Lutsen is one of the snowiest places in Minnesota.
The area around Lutsen regularly receives more than 100 inches of snow. In 2019, they were blessed with more than 124 inches of the white stuff.
Consider a stay at Cascade Lodge. It's adjacent to a state park, offers in-house dining at its restaurant, and affords spectacular Lake Superior views.
If you prefer a little more adrenaline in your day, Alpine skiers and snowboarders flock to Lutsen Mountains, the largest ski resort in the Upper Midwest, for skiing and boarding with a view.
While you’re in the area, don’t forget to stop by the Lockport Marketplace and Grill to grab a tasty breakfast or lunch.
