    An iron mine from around the time of the Civil War. According to online reports, the most common mineral mined here was magnetite, a highly magnetic iron mineral. There is still quite a lot of magnetite in the area, including loose rocks, so bring a magnet! The mine closed when mining became more popular around Lake Superior. The mine is not on the main trail, so you will have to look for a path up the hill on your right (if you're travelling south). You can still see large abandoned shafts, dramatic veins of red and green iron in the rock face, and drill holes for dynamite. Worth searching for.
