About Ely

Located in Saint Louis County, Minnesota, Ely is a small town with big charm.

The Lake Vermillion gold rush brought large numbers of pioneers to Ely in 1865. Instead of gold, however, large deposits of iron ore were found.

However, Ely is not only about the outdoors. You'll be able to find unique shops, the best places to eat and, if you're going for a rustic vibe, then you can pitch a tent at one of the campgrounds.
