Grand Portage State Park in northeastern Minnesota, which had temporarily closed on weekdays to accommodate construction work on a new visitor center, is once again open 8 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. The park provides visitors with an opportunity to see 120-foot High Falls, Minnesota’s highest waterfall.
The new 5,800-square-foot visitor center, which will double as a Minnesota Department of Transportation highway rest area, is expected to open in June 2010.
It will be fully accessible and include travel information as well as an exhibit hall showcasing the culture and
traditions of the Grand Portage Band of Ojibwe, on whose land the park is located.
During construction, every attempt will be made to keep the park open for day use, but occasional weekday closures may be necessary in the interest of visitor safety.
People planning a weekday trip to Grand Portage State Park, should call (218) 475-2360 for updates or go to mnstateparks.info to check the Grand Portage State Park Web page.
