Tettegouche State Park
high cliffs and the Baptism River falls
Stylized illustration, not a photo — the real place looks different (and that’s half the fun).
Tettegouche State Park is one of the places Roamward flags on the North Shore Scenic Drive because it gives the drive its texture: high cliffs and the Baptism River falls. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The North Shore Drive runs Duluth → Grand Portage, MN (Highway 61). Lake Superior’s wild Minnesota coast.
Nearby route stops
