Stamp Collection

The Lake Superior Circle Tour Stamp Collection program has become popular with both travelers and stakeholders. Travelers visit different stamp locations around the Lake Superior Circle Tour where they get the Stamp Page of their Lake Superior Circle Tour Adventure Guide stamped. After collecting stamps from each of the official locations travelers submit their completed sheets. Upon receipt of their completed stamped sheets they are sent a Lake Superior Circle Tour Certificate. Due to the large popularity of the program advertisers must purchase a full page advertisement within the Lake Superior Circle Tour Adventure Guide in order to choose a stamp location. Stamp locations are limited in quantity and are therefor on a first come first served basis with previous locations given the ability to renew their space first each year. Chosen stamp locations must meet set criteria which often requires a location to be a travel/welcome/information center of some kind.
