Grand Portage Marina

Post by Jeffery »

On a map, it looks like there are two marinas in Grand Portage. One is near the casino, the other is about 3 miles NE of the casino. Which marina does the Voyager II depart from?

You want to continue north past the Casino to the Hat Marina. There you will find the VII and the Sea Hunter.

Correct. The marina down the hill from the Trading Post and RV Campground is for boaters; we usually capture and enslave any hikers that venture down there...

Thanks Tampico, you gave my laugh for the day! I did venture down there once to buy a fishing license but managed to escape (barely).
