August 1998 via motorcycle
Checked out a new Harley as well as the Circle Tour at the same time. We spent a week in early August riding through more beautiful country than we thought possible. It was a real treat that we both enjoyed immensely and talk about frequently. It’s difficult to pick a favorite spot, but Duluth is very special along with the many cozy, friendly towns along the way. A great trip we plan to do again, soon.

Toured the lake in 7 days around the Canadian Thanksgiving Holiday. Favorite Hotel: AmericInn in Tofte. Favorite Spot: The Porkies. Favorite Experiences: laughing hysterically over the dessicated hotdogs we ate at Sylvester’s Bar in Ishpeming and freezing on the Soo Locks tour.

June/July 2000
Our favorite experience that trip was our stay at Naniboujou Lodge. It was our first time to the North Shore and the peacefulness was wonderful. We returned last year after a craving for the Naniboujou omelet with wild rice. Also, just outside Terrace Bay we came upon a moose and three calves. That was a real treat for us!

2000
We camped on the shores of Lake Superior from Minnesota through Ontario and back, taking photographs for a book. On route, we met many people going our way to make the circle tour or going in the opposite direction. Favorite camping spot: Neys Provincial Park. Experience: Driving to Pancake Bay, Ginger was driving as I dozed and she spotted a moose sitting by the side of the road and thought it was a statue until it turned its head to glare at her. Shouted at me to get the camera, but the moose got up and ambled across the highway about 40 feet in front of us before I got the chance.

September/October 2002
Favorite spot was Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park, “Beautiful Canyon.“ Most interesting experience was the Pictographs. Can’t believe we went down and then up that trail!

Summer 2002
I had the great fortune to choose the circle tour as our family vacation this past summer. We toured around and stayed at three different Ontario Provincial Parks and three other parks in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Everyone had a great time. The Lake Superior Travel Guide was a nice guide to have along. Our favorite spot was Batchawana Bay, which had a great park and great swimming. We have told all of our friends to think of this as a future vacation option.

Favorite Spots: Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Magpie High falls, Old Woman Bay, Amethyst Mine in Thunder Bay. Favorite experience was building an Inuksuk with husband and friends. Story: Neighbor Richard said they would follow along wherever I went because I had the Lake Superior Travel Guide - so there was no way we could miss the Amethyst Mine. The road going in was awful, long and we didn’t think it would end. After we saw a sign for RV Parking it went on for another 5 miles at least. As we finally arrived and were parking, I was just about to step into the camper bathroom when I hear a man telling Al they are going to blast and we have to get in the building. I stick my head out and say, “No that’s OK“ thinking he wanted us to view it, but he was TELLING us to MOVE and now!! We did, with Al driving and me on the pot. Richard is rethinking his policy on following me anywhere!

Started at the American Soo and driving first through Michigan. Most memorable: bumping into a moose on a twilight stroll on Isle Royale and the scenery in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario.

August 2-4, 2002 via motorcycle
The first night was spent at Red Rock, the second at Sault Ste. Marie. I had breakfast after Red Rock at a B&B in Rossport, a beautiful little town, and I think that town and the road that morning just past were the highlights of the trip.

Digging for amethysts in Thunder Bay and Split Rock Lighthouse.

June 1994
Favorite spot was Agawa Bay and the petroglyphs. Also enjoyed Madeline Island.
Dan Wade, Fridley, Minnesota

Three times in 1989, 1990, 1995
In 1995 we went “over the top“ from East to West and 1990 West to East. It’s gorgeous both ways, but somehow better East to West, the prettiest ride we’ve EVER taken and hope to do it again - more than once.
Robert Woodbury, Winslow, Maine

October 1988
It was our anniversary trip. We always enjoy Thunder Bay and Wawa and most of all we enjoy our trips to Duluth. The color that year was beautiful all across Canada.
