Numerous parks, trails, forests, resorts and related tourist facilities have been developed along the shore to serve the recreating public. Most of these facilities have been land-based, with the Lake largely appreciated from shore. In recent years, attention has focused on more fully opening up the Lake to recreational boating, from sea kayaking to sailing to multi-day trips from port to port. During the summer of 2002 a recreational boater study was conducted on the Minnesota portion of Lake Superior.
