Track: The long-awaited grand opening of the McQuade Road Small Craft Harbor on Lake Superior is set for Friday at 2 pm with numerous dignitaries on hand including DNR commissioner Mark Holsten. The new facility is located on scenic Highway 61 and McQuade Road about 10.5 miles north of the Duluth Harbor.

The access features a park-like setting and includes a three-acre harbor where small craft can seek protection from storms, three protected ramps for boat launching, a kayak launching area and adjustable docks.

"McQuade Road is the newest state of the art facility that Trails and Waterways s has just built. It will provide access and safe harborage for boaters and a wonderful opportunity for the non-boating public to get close
to and experience Lake Superior."
