Laurentian Divide and Lookout Mountain

The Laurentian Divide runs along the crest of low, rocky hills and divides the Red River and Rainy River basins from the Minnesota River and Lake Superior basins.

On the south side of the divide, streams flow south to Lake Superior or on to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Laurentian Divide Recreation Area serves as a trail head for Lookout Mountain hiking and ski trails, including a half mile fitness trail with seven exercise stations.
