Tiny Cook Minnesota tourist attractions take you to the edge of the Superior National Forest, Voyageurs National Park,  and lovely Lake Vermilion.

You may discover Cook along busy U.S. Highway 53 while you are on your way to Lake Vermilion State Park or Voyageurs National Park. The town has a few restaurants and gift shops as well as the oldest continually operating movie theater in Minnesota (established in 1939).

Just north of town is Lake Vermilion, now part of our newest state park, Lake Vermillion State Park. 

Cook Minnesota

Lake Vermilion and the surrounding area is your introduction to an awe-inspiring and unspoiled area of the state. Three million acres contain a network of rivers and streams, as well as 5,000 lakes set aside for recreation. Kayakers and canoeists, backpackers and campers all come to explore this wilderness area that include the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. For an adventure of a lifetime, hike the iconic Gunflint Trail.
