Eveleth

Eveleth is host to a variety of outdoor experiences, including a golf course and several hiking and biking opportunities. Downtown Eveleth is where you’ll find the famous “Big Stick,” along with historical hockey information. Exercising the identical process that is used to build standard size hockey sticks, Christian Brothers built the 110-foot-long stick of white and yellow aspen with a finishing weight of 7,000 ponds. The shaft was 15 inches thick by 22 inches wide by 17 feet long. The stick was admitted to the World Book of Records in November 1995. A giant rubber puck and statues of Eveleth hockey legends John Mariucci and Frank Brimsek are nearby.

Leonidas Overlook. Located on Highway 101 in Eveleth, the highest manmade point on the Iron Range, is a panorama that sightseers won’t want to miss. At this location, they will be able to view more than 15 miles of breathtaking scenery and former mine sites as well as the active mine, UTAC, in Eveleth. The water towers of several communities are also visible from here, as well as the Laurentian Divide, visible on the horizon as a low range of hills.

Named for Leonidas Merritt, one of seven brothers who discovered the Mesabi Iron Range, the Leonidas Mine began production in 1908, shipping nearly 19 million tons of ore before its closure in 1978. The overlook was created by mining overburden.

Veterans Park and Campground. Located on Ely Lake, just off Highway 53 in Eveleth, is forested with mixed hardwoods and pines along with open grassy meadows. The park, with a beach, picnic area, campsites, playground and pavilion, is secluded and quiet, perfect for reading, relaxation and a peaceful picnic.

The Eveleth Municipal Golf Course is located at 4307 Golf Course Rd.

For your furry friends, the Eveleth Dog Park is located just south of the intersection of Park Avenue and Hat Trick Avenue across from the Eveleth Cemetery. A sledding hill is located near the dog park.

Eveleth is accessible to many outdoor activities and trails, including the Mesabi Trail.
