Odyssey Resorts is committed to programming events and building partnerships that strengthen our communities by supporting local townships, businesses and the people who make it their home.
At Odyssey Resorts, we believe sustainability starts with stewardship—of the land, the water, and the communities we serve.
Our partnership with the
Superior Hiking Trail Association empowers team members to help preserve one of the North Shore’s most cherished natural assets. Through trail section adoption and hands-on volunteer opportunities, we actively contribute to the upkeep, cleanliness, and sustainability of this iconic trail system.
We extend that same care to our roadsides and waterways. Odyssey Resorts has adopted Sections 102 to 104 of Highway 61 in Grand Marais through the Minnesota Adopt-a-Highway program, with our team gathering twice a year to maintain this scenic route. We're also proud participants and vocal promoters of the Adopt-a-Drain program—encouraging staff, guests, and community members to help prevent stormwater pollution and protect Lake Superior by keeping storm drains clear of debris.
Our commitment to cleaner communities continues with regular participation in neighborhood and beach cleanups in and around the areas where we operate.
We also invest in the next generation of environmental leaders by partnering with the
Hamline University Environmental Studies Program, supporting student-driven research and regional sustainability initiatives. In the spirit of environmental education and advocacy, Odyssey Resorts sponsored A Sea Change for Superior, a powerful short film that explores the importance of protecting Lake Superior through local action and collaboration.
