Gooseberry Falls State Park Fuel Station

This Holiday gas station sits right on Highway 61 at the entrance to Gooseberry Falls State Park, making it the go-to fuel stop for overlanders heading deeper up the North Shore or into Superior National Forest. Clean restrooms, decent coffee, and a convenience store that actually stocks camping basics like propane canisters, ice, and fishing licenses. The attached deli makes passable sandwiches for trail lunches.

It’s the last reliable fuel for nearly 40 miles if you’re heading toward Grand Marais, so top off here. Gets busy during summer weekends and fall color season, but rarely has long waits. Open year-round, though hours are reduced in winter.
