I've traveled extensively on the north, west, and
south shores.  I find the small state parks and simlar
areas to be the most rewarding (if you're not going to
kayak on the lake, that is, which is amazing but not
for everyone). I am also keen on waterfalls and there
are plenty.

Specifically I recommend short hikes at: CR Magney
State park (MN), Cascade River state park (MN),
Tettegouche state park (MN), Temperence river state
park (MN), Black River (Michigan, NR Wisconsin
border), Presque Isle River (MI, right at the mouth of
the river).

In general I find the north shore much more
interesting than the south. The canadian north shore
is less peopled but less accessible by road, so that
leaves the MN portion as the place I would spend the
most time. I dont' know the east part at all, though.
