Always be prepared
Lake Superior may give us sunshine, rain, wind, bugs, chilly mornings, warm afternoons, or any number of those before lunch.
Temperatures could range from the 50s to the 90s, but we’re expecting mostly 60s at night and 70s to 80s during the day. Bring light layers, a rain jacket, and enough bug protection to avoid becoming part of the local food chain.

What to Pack
The Basics
- Comfortable clothes, socks, and walking shoes/sandals!
- Lightweight long sleeves and pants for cool mornings, evenings, and bug protection
- A warmer layer, such as a sweatshirt, fleece, or light jacket
- A rain jacket or other waterproof layer
- Sun protection, including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
- Bug protection, such as bug spray and itch relief
- A swimsuit and towel for the sauna, pools, or lakes
- Games, outdoor gear, or family show-and-tell items you would like to share
- A headlamp or flashlight
- Any medications or personal supplies you may need
- A reusable water bottle
- Earplugs or headphones for hotel noise
- Day packs, fanny packs, back packs, dry bags.
- An N95 or KN95 mask if you are sensitive to wildfire smoke or poor air quality
For those Driving:
- A camping or folding chair for outdoor gatherings
- A beach blanket, outdoor blanket, or wrap (cozy campfire)
Optional Adventure Gear
Bring anything you may want for exploring the North Shore, such as hiking shoes, water shoes, bikes, fishing gear, golf clubs, binoculars, a rock identification book, or a good book for quieter moments.
Flying or packing light? No problem. There is plenty to see and do without special equipment, and gear rentals are available nearby for many activities. If you are planning any more intensive activities on your own (sailing, sea kayaking, canoe trip, etc), please check the recommended pack list for those.
Local Supplies
Two Harbors is a small but tourist-friendly town with restaurants, gas stations, shops, pharmacies, and a grocery store. Duluth is also nearby and has plenty of additional supplies.
We will have a first-aid kit, extra bug and sun protection, and a few other essentials on hand.
