The original name was Baie De Gres which means Bay of Sandstone it was later changed to the name it has now, which means Grey Beast. Local legend says that the pure white sand of this bay “sings” by pressing down with the palm of your hand, or “barks” when struck. This sound is said to be the voice of a Native American maiden who lost her lover to the Great Lakes and still calls to him from the shore. The sand is said to lose its magical singing power when removed from the beach.
Lake Superior Magazine’s readers have voted Bete Gris Reserve the Best of the Lake for 2021 because it's such a great place to play in the water.
Just north of here, in Lac La Belle, you will find restaurants, vacation rentals, hiking and biking trails, and the only downhill ski resort of it’s kind east of the Rockies, Mount Bohemia
