Grand Portage State Park, State park on Canadian border in Minnesota, United States.
The park contains the Pigeon River falls reaching 120 feet in height, creating the highest waterfall in Minnesota along Lake Superior's shore.
Fur traders conducted a 8.5-mile portage along the Pigeon River to bypass the falls during their commercial expeditions through the Great Lakes region.
The land belongs to the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, which leases the territory to Minnesota State for one dollar per year.
Visitors can access hiking trails leading to waterfall viewpoints and use the information center, which operates daily from 10 AM to 4 PM.
This park stands as the only example in Minnesota of shared management between the state and a Native American community for natural space preservation.
