Ours is an area of beautiful forests, lakes and streams. Ely is known as the gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and offers unlimited outdoor recreation in all seasons of the year. Our town has been named the best small town to visit by many publications, most recently in Smithsonian in 2021. This small town boasts great outdoor clothing made right here in Ely, nationally known interpretive centers for the wolf and the bear, art galleries, delightful shops and great restaurants. We have wonderful festivals in winter, summer and fall, host a marathon in September that is a qualifier for the Boston marathon. Our Film Festival in February draws people from all over the Midwest to see 4 days of great independent films.
