This live stream looks out over the town of Ely in northeastern Minnesota, a gateway to the Boundary Waters. Watch it to get a sense of current conditions before heading north, or simply to follow the seasons in a quiet lake-country town.
About Ely and its surroundings
Ely sits at roughly 450 metres above sea level on the edge of the Superior National Forest, a region of forests, bogs and thousands of lakes. The town is widely known as the starting point for canoe trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and is closely tied to outdoor life, wildlife and the history of the iron ore country nearby. The landscape is mostly forested and water-rich, which shapes the mood of the town through every season.
What to watch and when
The view is most useful for checking how the town looks at different hours and under different weather, since the sky and light change quickly over lake country. Mornings often bring mist over the water in warmer months, while autumn colours peak in late September and early October. Winter views tend to show snow cover and frozen lakes. Depending on the angle, you may notice boats, vehicles or changing foliage, so compare with the live weather block on this page.
Climate and practical notes
Ely has a cold continental climate, with short, warm summers and long, snowy winters that regularly bring temperatures well below freezing. Summer and early autumn are the most popular times for paddling and hiking, while winter draws visitors for snowshoeing and dog sledding. Nearby cameras on this page cover Biwabik, Silver Bay, Tofte and Gunflint Lake, which help you judge conditions across the wider North Shore and lake region.
