Carlton County, Minnesota
Carlton County sits in the northeastern part of Minnesota, not far from Lake Superior. It’s a place where outdoor and adventure are always close at hand.
The St. Louis River cuts through the county, offering kayaking and fishing spots that locals love. Jay Cooke State Park is a must-visit, with its wild rapids and swinging bridge.
Small-town charm is alive and well in places like Moose Lake and Barnum. Cloquet, the biggest city, has a cool claim to fame. It’s home to the only gas station designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. I knew you thought that would be cool. I knew it.
