Jay Cooke is a gorgeous place for hiking and the closest attraction to the farm. Walk across the famous Swinging Bridge or drive through the park for fantastic views.
Spirit Mountain isn't just for skiing - great place for kids to burn off energy and I personally recommend the alpine coaster for thrills and the view!
Gordy's is a local must-eat. A diner in Cloquet known for their burgers and shakes.
