Superior Hiking Trail

Sep 23, 2019

A relaxing solo late summer hike from Grand Marais to Judge Magney State Park. Early fall colors and comfortable temperatures made this trip enjoyable.

After getting a late start on day one hiked to Pincushion Mountain overlook (amazing!) and continued on through Devils Track to Woods Creek. A total of 6 miles.

On Day two, I hiked from Woods Creek though many creeks, meadows and rivers, and the lake walk to Brule River. Despite having to wade through Lake Superior (for a short distance) due to high water, the lake walk was very relaxing. It was about 16 miles.

On Day 3, I slept in and then hiked the few miles to Judge Magney State Park. With time to spare until my shuttle arrived, I hiked up to the Devil's Kettle.

Another adventure with Bic and friends on the Superior Hiking Trail along the north shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota! We hike from Grand Marais near Pin Cushion Mountain north to Judge Magney State Park. We hit some of the trail's highlights like Devil track river and canyon as well as the lake walk!

This river hiking trail near Grand Marais MN on the North Shore of Lake Superior is a lesser known hike. It is gorgeous and will take you to the Superior Hiking Trail if you want to hike even longer than the .9 miles to the bridge that we saw. Hiking near Grand Marais and the Gunflint Trail is my favorite, so enjoy!

I camp and hike in and around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I also guide Boundary Waters Retreats! In the Superior National Forest, in Northern Minnesota. And anywhere else I can venture to! I love sharing the journey with you all.

Thank you for subscribing, it means a lot to me.

We did a quick overnighter up on the Superior Hiking Trail near Grand Marais. It is about a 4 hour drive from Mpls. Temps were floating around 73º during the day and 63º at night in the middle of September which was crazy. The Humidity was between 80% and 100%.

It was a short hike in from the parking lot. There were a lot of fellow hikers enjoying the start of fall colors. We got to our campsite in the early afternoon in preparation for some potential rain that never came. At 1:00am the rain did come through making the humidity rise up. Even though it was muggy I still managed to sleep the rest of the night.

This site has limited hammock hanging spots for 11ft hammocks. A lot of the trees surrounding the area were rotting birch, so we had to be careful where we hanged. Overall a nice short trip.
