Grand Portage Lodge and Casino
Early Chippewa first used the “grand portage” to link inland winter camps to summer homes at Grand Portage Bay on Lake Superior.
This 8.5 mile trek up the Pigeon River bypassed a series of waterfalls, including high Falls. From there, the Grand Portage people gained access to the chain of lakes and rivers that led to the vast plains of Canada.
Centuries later, European fur traders followed their lead and Grand Portage became the inland headquarters for a world0-wide fur trade. From 1730 to 1805 this trading post hosted hundreds of traders, partners, and voyageurs as goods and cultures from all over the world met at Grand Portage in a flurry of trading activity.
The Chippewa people still make their home at Grand Portage and celebrate traditional culture. Amid pristine wilderness, we have created a cozy resort offering state-of-the-art gaming and the beauty of a natrual retreat. Come share in the unique and special charm of Grand Portage.
