Duluth, Minnesota - March 19, 1999
 The
readers of the Lake Superior Travel Guidehave
again stated where they best like to visit when traveling around Lake Superior.
The nationally recognized list, gleaned from the ballots of the publication’s
annual Reader Service program, ranks the 10th annual Lake
Superior’s Best.
The top spot is again dominated by the Lake Superior Minnesota north
shore, as it has been over the 10 years of the survey, followed by
Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. Duluth (Minnesota)/Superior (Wisconsin)
pull into 3rd position, moving Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands/Bayfield
into 4th place. Michigan’s Munising/Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
remains unchanged in 5th place, but Grand Marais, Minnesota, and
North
of Superior, which includes Thunder Bay, Ontario, are tied for
6th place. That’s a bold move by North of Superior from 10th place last
year.
Copper Harbor, Michigan, continues to move up the list at 8th position,
followed by the reappearance of Big Snow Country at 9th and the
twin Sault Ste. Maries (Michigan and Ontario) in 10th. For the first
time in years, Isle Royale National Park has dropped off the list.
The list is revealed in the 1999 edition, a 160-page full-color sourcebook
containing photographs, maps, listings of services, travel hints and other
useful information for travelers, including an exclusive full-color pullout
map of the Lake Superior Circle Tour.
In addition to polling its readers on the top destinations for next year,
the 1999 Travel Guide offers a Vacation Getaway travel contest,
which will award two $500 vacation packages in the Lake Superior region.
