Marcell,
population 408, is the hub of the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway.
A Township of 56 square miles, it contains all or part of 48 lakes. Tourism is Marcell's biggest industry, and the population swells during the summer. Part of
the Northern Itasca Joint Powers Board, Marcell has the look and feel of a small
town; peace and quiet in the most natural of settings. It is the birthplace of ASV, the all-terrain vehicle manufacturer. The Marcell Ranger Station of the
Chippewa National Forest, located north of town, provides services and
information to travelers and local visitors and is the center for information
concerning the "Edge of the Wilderness" National Scenic Byway.
