Taconite Harbor, Minnesota

Taconite Harbor is an unincorporated community in Schroeder Township, Cook County, Minnesota, United States.

Until 2008, the Cliffs Erie Railroad carried taconite from Hoyt Lakes.

Currently, Taconite Harbor consists of a power plant, foundations and an abandoned basketball court.

This development may include a sewer system, various commercial businesses centered on a village square, paved parking lots, and a City Hall (which would then make Taconite Harbor an incorporated city).

The community is also expected to be a major stop along the Gitchi-Gami State Trail.
