Packing for your vacation up north is never as easy as it sounds.  Lake Superior provides its own weather bubble called the Lake-effect.  In the winter that may mean more or less snow, or warmer temps near the shore, and in the summer cool breeze, fog or rain.  So, best to pack a little of everything!

Here is a little guide:

All Year:
Sweatshirts, Jeans/Pants, socks, closed-toed shoes.  (We sometimes suggest a hat too – just to be safe – seriously!) Don’t forget your swimsuit for the pool/sauna/hot tub.

Summer:
Shorts, t-shirts, light jacket for the wind, bug spray, and sunscreen.

Fall/Spring:
Bring it all – the weather can go either way from hot to cold depending on where you are.  Bring layers in your vehicle too.

Winter:
Long Underwear, snow pants, hat, mittens, wool socks, boots.

Regardless of what you did or didn’t pack – there are many gift shops and outfitters that can help you out with a much needed item turned souvenir.
