One of the best views can be found from this stunning rock formation that rises hundreds of feet above the North Shore.

Palisade Head is a massive rhyolite lava flow within ancient lava flows that occur along the shore from Duluth to Canada. It's a sheer 300 ft drop to the lake with an amazing view of Shovel Point.
