Grand Marais is a city in Cook County, Minnesota. The population was 1,351 at the 2010 census, and it is the county seat of Cook County.

Grand Marais is a scenic one-time fishing village that now butters its bread with tourism dollars. It has a lively arts community with its own playhouse, "folk school," public radio station, and a number of art galleries. It's a launching point for many trips into the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the last real population center before the Canadian border. It is a 4.5 hour drive from the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, and two hours from Duluth.
