Gunflint Lake Overlook - a photo on Flickriver

            Gunflint Lake Scenic Overlook on the Gunflint Trail. The "trail" is actually Cook County Rd 12, but it became known as the Gunflint Trail because of Gunflint Lake. Native Americans and Voyageurs found chert, a black flint rock, on the lake shore. The French named it “Lac de Pierres a Fusil” which translates to English as "Lake of Stone Flint."

The Gunflint Trail is a 57 mile long road that winds its way through the Superior National Forest from Grand Marais on Lake Superior to Saganaga Lake near the Canadian border. It is paved from start to finish.
