The Gunflint Trail’s Biggest Blueberry Contest
…
Come to Cook County, on Minnesota’s North Shore, and enter the Gunflint Trail’s annual Biggest Blueberry Contest!
Now through August 11th, take any wild-picked blueberry to one of the many weigh station locations on the Gunflint Trail! The three biggest berries of the summer will receive cash prizes and bragging rights to all of your friends. Happy picking!
Blueberries will be measured by weight and must be picked fresh and not store bought. Cash prizes awarded to the 3 biggest berries.
Weigh stations will be designated by large road signs at various resorts and locations along the Gunflint Trail.
Blueberries in the Gunflint Trail area tend to peak around late July or early August. Wild blueberries are easy to identify, looking much like the grocery store variety, only smaller. The plants are woody shrubs, usually less than two feet tall and resemble miniature trees. They grow best in dry, well drained, rocky soil with good sun and are often found in recent burn areas.
