Superior Hiking Trail

Over 200 miles of trails from Duluth, Minn., to Canada.

Reviewed By TravelingSoccerLoon - Saint Paul, United States

Hiked a short segment of the SHT north of Tettegouche State Park to Tower Overlook this Fall. 3 mile out and back segment. Only encountered 2 other hikers the entire time on the trail. Would love to explore more of the trail with some backpacking in the future. The trail stretches 200 miles from Duluth up to Canada.

Viewing point from the Superior Hiking Trail.

Reviewed By lauriee65

We where there 11/15/19 and the road to the overlook was closed for the season. We walked the road up to the overlook as so many others did that day, the weather was beautiful (38 degrees and sunny) for a fall day. At the top the view was beautiful with the sun shinning on the lake. Was totally worth the morning walk for the view at the top.

Muskie Doom Guide Service

Muskie Doom Guide Service is your home for inland fishing adventure along the North Shore of Lake Superior! We especially cater to anglers looking to put that first muskie in the boat, whether you're an avid panfish, bass or walleye angler who is thinking about taking the leap to muskies, or if you've got a teenager who is crazy about fishing but is looking for a bigger challenge. We love watching an angler catch his or her first muskie just as much as we like catching them ourselves. With our trips, it's all about you. We don't fish alongside you ... it's your show and we just watch and give instructions! We now offer guided rainbow trout trips as well. These are action-oriented trips that are perfect for kids. We also offer bass, panfish and pike trips and are looking to expand, with Lake Superior fishing in the near future. Need a North Shore guide? We can put together many other kinds of trips, including fall color tours, moose viewing excursions or other unique trips.

Gooseberry Falls State Park

This North Shore park is home to a spectacular four-level waterfall, scenic overlooks and is ideal for trout fishing.

Reviewed By TravelingSoccerLoon - Saint Paul, United States

Great spot along the North Shore with a short hike to see the Middle and High Falls of the Gooseberry River. Probably the most popular spot along the North shore so expect crowds.

Iona's Beach Scientific and Natural Area

Reviewed By mbabe58 - Lynchburg, United States

It was a little tricky to find. Park in the upper parking lot and find the trail there. We parked by the boating launch and the trail from there is pretty tricky. The sound of the rocks clicking as you walk, the beautiful pink and green and blue rocks was wonderful. We simply sat and listened to the rocks, enjoying making them move and sing by gently brushing them. We wanted to return there, but never had time. The waves were too mild to hear them sing in the water.

Agate Bay Beach

Reviewed By marief189

We stumbled on this location while trying to see the Edgar B. Speer come I to the docking area to unload the iron ore. What a special treat it was to see the Tadoussac leaving and the Speer coming in. The views are amazing to be able to watch the freighters come in. You can park and watch or get out and walk along the nice sidewalks or even go out on the point to see the freighters up close. We had been in Duluth at Canal Poi t and watched the freighters coming and going under the aerial lift bridge and that was nice...but this was very special as it July 4th and there were fireworks going off around while the boat was getting into position to moor. This is a great place to see the freighters if you are a boat nerd or just coming to check it out for the first time!

Iona's Beach

Reviewed By Cropduster2153 - Silver Bay, United States

This is a unique beach with pink rocks. Very secluded. Spectacular views. Slightly difficult to get to, but worth the effort. This fact also makes it not very crowded. Close to the Gitchi Gami state trail. There is paved parking right off of Highway 61, at the Twin Points public water access, which is 16 miles north of Two Harbors. A good place to park for access to the state trail also. Check it out.
