Park Point Beach
Park Point (Minnesota Point)
One of the longest freshwater sandbars in the world, reached right after the lift bridge, with about 10 km of beach and dunes.
Park Point (Minnesota Point) is a freshwater sandbar about 10 km long. It extends from the lift bridge to the entrance of the Superior harbor. On the lake side are long sandy beaches and dunes with pine forest. In summer, locals sunbathe, picnic, and play in the water here. At the tip of the sandbar, a trail leads to the site of an old lighthouse. Admission is free. If the lift bridge is raised when you cross, you may wait a few minutes. Lake water is usually cold, so take care when swimming.
