Silver Rapids Fuel and Lodge
Fuel Station
Silver Rapids serves as the unofficial hub for anyone heading into the Superior National Forest backcountry around the Gunflint Trail. The fuel pumps stay open 24/7, and the attached lodge restaurant serves hearty breakfasts and burgers that’ll fuel a day on the trails. The locals here know every logging road and dispersed camp spot within 50 miles — worth buying them a beer for the intel.
Located right on Highway 61 about 20 miles northeast of Grand Marais, this is your last reliable fuel and food stop before committing to forest roads that can run 30+ miles between services. Stock up on ice, snacks, and propane here.
