What is here
- Written guides to the harbor and lake, the woods and trails, visiting, nature and weather, and the town.
- Live weather for the harbor, the Sawtooth ridge and the Gunflint Trail, from the National Weather Service and NOAA.
- A webcam page, which will carry a live view of the harbor once a camera is in place.
- A newsletter, a few times a season.
How the guides are written
Each guide is original writing. The facts in it, such as dates, fees, distances and rules, are checked against the agency or organization responsible, and every guide lists those official sources beside the text so you can confirm them yourself.
Fees, dates and rules change. Each guide shows the date it was last updated, and the official page it links to is always the final word. For anything that bears on safety, such as cold water, big-lake boating, winter travel or wilderness trips, check current conditions with the source before you go.
What this site is not
Harbor Friends is not a government agency and does not issue permits, take reservations or sell anything. The guides link to the places that do.
Your information
The only personal information the site keeps is what you give it to get the newsletter. The privacy page says exactly what that is and how to remove it.
