The Crosby-Ironton area is located near the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, about a 2.5 hour drive north of the Twin Cities, and is made up of two cities - Crosby and Ironton. Built around Serpent Lake, this area was notoriously known for being the first town to ship iron ore to eastern steel mills in the early 1900's. Even now, you can see remnants of this history is the iron red dirt and multiple mine lakes in the area!
Places to Stay
There are a handful of places to stay in the area, but our top recommendation would hands down be a stay at Cuyuna Cove. Located right outside of Crosby, it feels very remote and has a sauna onsite! Not to mention included snowshoes during the winter, and mountain bikes and HOK skis available for rent!
