Outdoor-lovers can't go wrong in the Duluth area, where Lake Superior provides a stunning playground.

Outdoor-lovers can't go wrong in the Duluth area, where Lake Superior provides a stunning playground. The North Shore is a haven for kayaking, sailing and fishing out on the big lake. On land, add golf, biking, rock climbing, hiking and off-roading to the action-packed options. By day's end, the hot tub at the Cloquet/Duluth KOA will be calling your name. You'll be happy to heed the call at this lovely campground, set on 15 acres of towering white pines and close to all the fun. From Duluth's harbor, sail out into the world's largest freshwater lake alongside huge freighters. Take a chartered fishing trip to catch salmon and sturgeon-or just marvel at them at the terrific Great Lakes Aquarium.
