Crane Lake, Minnesota is where the country's highways literally end, and it's pristine wilderness waterways begin. An area so vast, so unspoiled that it has been designated a permanent remembrance of America and the way it appeared centuries ago to the Indians and fur traders.

Glaciers sculpted masterpiece after masterpiece in the chain of lakes in the area. Crane Lake is just the beginning!

The area is abundant with white and pink granite with large veins of white quartz running through. Evergreens meet crystal blue waters and the sunrises and sunsets present photographic backdrops. From breathtaking overlooks at Vermilion Gorge, Vermilion Falls and Grassy Bay Cliffs you can see some of the oldest geological formations in the nation.

As you can tell from these photos, the fishing isn't bad, either!
