Our HISTORY

The Cuyuna Lakes Area’s history is deeply rooted in the mining industry, particularly in the extraction of iron ore. From the early 1900s to the mid-20th century, the region was a hub for iron ore mining, which significantly impacted the area’s development and culture. The mine pit lakes, now renowned for recreational activities such as scuba diving and kayaking, were formed as a result of the mining operations. These pristine lakes stand as a testament to the area’s mining heritage and the resilience of nature in reclaiming the land.

One of the most tragic events in the history of the Cuyuna Lakes Area was the Milford Mine disaster in 1924. This devastating mining accident resulted in the loss of 41 miners’ lives. The Milford Mine Memorial Park serves as a poignant and respectful tribute to the miners and a reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of valuable resources.

In addition to its mining legacy, the Cuyuna Lakes Area has a unique connection to

high-altitude exploration. The “Man High” project, conducted in the area, contributed to pioneering research on the effects of high-altitude flight on humans. This groundbreaking project laid the foundation for advancements in space exploration and high-altitude scientific research.

Furthermore, the Cuyuna Lakes Area was once home to the headquarters of Scorpion snowmobiles, a prominent brand in the 1960s and 1970s. The legacy of Scorpion snowmobiles is celebrated in the area, with enthusiasts and historians alike honoring the brand’s impact on the snowmobiling industry through local events and museum exhibitions.

The Soo Line Museum is a key attraction in the Cuyuna Lakes Area, showcasing the region’s connection to the Soo Line Railroad and its role in transporting iron ore. Visitors can explore the area’s mining heritage, learn about the Milford Mine disaster, and discover the “Man High” project and the legacy of Scorpion snowmobiles.

The museum features mining history exhibits, including a life-sized replica of the capsule Dr. David Simons rode to the stratosphere, as well as 100-year-old tools and photographs of miners and mines that shaped the region. Notably, it is recognized in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” as the only depot in the world where trains arrived but never passed through.

Family GUIDE

DAY 1: ARRIVAL AND OUTDOOR EXPLORATION

Start your day with a visit to Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. Explore the picturesque hiking and mountain biking trails and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lakes and forests. If you have young children, visit the paved trail or drive up the mountain and have a picnic on Miners Mountain with a scenic overlook.

Next, head over to Ironton and stop at High Wheel Confectionary, where they have ice cream, kids’ toys, and a wide variety of candy. While you’re in Ironton, you can try outdoor pickleball or visit Grandpa’s playground located in the heart of Ironton.

In the evening, unwind and relax at one of the local restaurants or cafes in the area. With plenty of diverse options in the area, there is something for even the pickiest eaters. Check out our “Where to Eat” section to find your next favorite.

DAY 2: WATER ACTIVITIES AND FAMILY FUN

Spend the day at Crosby Memorial Park, where you can enjoy swimming, picnicking, and water activities on Serpent Lake. Rent a paddleboard or kayak and explore the serene waters together. If you’re visiting in winter, check out local cross-country skiing or snowshoeing trails. If there is enough ice, you could also try your hand at ice fishing!

After a fun-filled day at the lake or in the snow, visit the Milford Mine Historical Park to learn about the area’s mining history. Or visit historic Main Street Crosby and enjoy hot chocolate while browsing our charming stores.

Wrap up the day with a cozy campfire at a nearby campground or at your accommodation. Share stories, roast marshmallows, and enjoy quality family time under the starry night sky. If it’s too cold, spend time playing games as a family or find a local event to attend.

DAY 3: LOCAL CULTURE AND RELAXATION

Start your day with a visit to the Soo Line Museum to discover the rich history and culture of the area. Engage in interactive exhibits and learn about the local traditions and community. After checking out the local culture and traditions, why not treat the family to a fun day at a nearby park or playground? It’s a great chance to enjoy some quality time together—playing outdoor games, having a picnic, or just taking a nice stroll around. If it’s too chilly outside, no worries! You can head over to Cuyuna Brewing, where you can sip on some delicious craft brews while having fun with the games they have set up.

Before departing, take a scenic drive around the Cuyuna Lakes Area to admire the natural beauty and perhaps stop for a family photoshoot at one of the picturesque spots.
