Grand Portage Minnesota is a remote community on the US-Canada border at the northeastern tip of Minnesota on Lake Superior. The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa operates the Grand Portage Casino and the border crossing to Thunder Bay, Ontario. Lake Superior storms create dangerous conditions for maritime traffic. The community is extremely remote — over two hours from the nearest hospital — requiring significant emergency self-sufficiency. Winter storms can isolate the community for extended periods.
