The Taconite State Trail stretches 165 miles from Grand Rapids to Ely and intersects with the Arrowhead State Trail just west of Lake Vermillion. The first 6 miles from Grand Rapids are paved for biking and in-line skating. The remainder of the natural surface trail is used primarily for snowmobiling in the winter. The trail goes through a few areas that have standing water in the summer, however portions of the trail are suitable for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking.

The Taconite Trail winds through forests of birch and aspen intertwined with pine, leading the visitor by many isolated lakes and streams. From Grand Rapids heading north, you see the impact of the taconite and iron mining industry. The northern portion of the trail terrain is rolling and tree covered as it winds through state and national forest land.

Eight trail waysides and picnic facilities offer scenic vistas of the hills, lakes and rivers of this area. The trail also links three state parks: Bear Head Lake, Soudan Underground Mine, and McCarthy Beach. The landscape in and around Bear Head Lake State Park is very rolling and rocky

Minnesota Soy Candle Company is a mother (Lori) and daughter-in-law (April) duo that started making candles as a hobby. Our first candles were for April's wedding. From there we started buying candle-making kits—ten pounds of wax at a time. We poured in canning jars and each batch we made was a great session of trial-and-error. Five years and thousands of pounds of wax later, we are confident in our candles and very excited to offer them for sale to our current and future customers through this website. We are an up-and-coming small business that has been making candles for over five years now. We are located in Nashwauk, MN and have recently built a gift shop next to our residence. We have built our business by selling at home shows and other local shows. At all shows we have been well received, especially by returning customers who are excited to see us again and purchase more candles.
