Grand Marais is a city in Cook County, Minnesota, United States. It is a northern village located on the shores of Lake Superior, and a vibrant, bustling town. The population was 1,351 at the 2010 census. It is also the county seat and sole municipality of Cook County. Prior to inhabitation by white settlers and prior to Minnesota’s statehood, Grand Marais was inhabited by the Anishinaable indigenous people, the thriving woodland people also known as the Ojibwe. The Ojibwe name for the area is Gichi-biitoobiig, which means "great duplicate water," "parallel body of water" or "double body of water" (like a bayou), a reference to the two bays which form the large harbor off Lake Superior.

It is a great experience to walk out on the breakwater especially after you eat in town. Bring a camera and make sure you take your time to take it in.

I loved the humor and memories that I experienced. The owner's father made fishing lures and opened the place in 1964. His son, the current owner, tested his fathers lures since he was a child. This place is for the serious fisherman and the serious comic. I loved the T-shirts. I shared some fun stories with the owner as I also grew up fishing in the north country.
