Rent a cabin on the north shore. That would be a great way to spend some quality time. You can have campfires at night, hike during the day and you can even visit Ely and some of the other towns around the area and check out the shops and get some ice cream and eat lunch at new and exciting places. That sounds like a fun weekend.

How about the Black Hills?  Or perhaps a weekend isn't long enough to drive that distance.  Minnesota has some nice State Parks too.  Some even have rustic cabins you can rent pretty reasonable.

Itacsa state prak is a good place to hike you all so can rent bike there they have bike trails and a cabins to rent or tent but if you want to campe go to long lake E off 71 nouth of Itacsa on 200 about 10 miles you can rent a boat and fish for trout this is a good campgroud this has bathroom and a small store and it is 5 mile away from Itacsa too.
we go there one a year for the last 8 years.the coat to campe is 17.00 a night. or Duluth is a good place too.Well I hop this help you.
