If you're a bike rider, trail has to be added to your must-ride list. It's worth a trip to Duluth just to ride this trail from Duluth to Carlton. There are so many scenic areas on this trail and overlooks that plan on more time than you'd normally plan on for a ride of this distance. The trail hooks up... More

This is a long trail, accessible at many points for briefer sojourns. Don't miss the Finlayson to Rutledge run -- which was re-routed to leave a farm field intacts and takes you down hills through woods to wetlands and then up again. The Jay Cooke State Park stretch is also pretty great riding.

Amazing trail out in the countryside. This trail offers some great picture perfect moments - there's a bicycle / foot bridge that crosses a river that was a torrent of water in June. I tend to think that even if the flow had been less than what it was when I saw it, this still would have been a beautiful... More

Usually not crowded. Wheels are always annoying when walking. Can park at Riverside access and points in Duluth. crime-safe but lock purse in trunk etc. common-sense. nice escercise, a few neat RR bridges, carry water.

For weeks on ends thousands and thousands of hawks, eagles, etc... fly over this spot and it is an amazing thing to see and be a part of. We aren't birding people, but we just love... More

Property owners aren't supposed to drive over to get in their own driveway..

We road our bicycles on here now we do it with our granddaughter. it just a great place for running and biking.

We visited the area for one day. It had been several years since we rode the trail. Because there is major highway construction happening in Duluth, we drove to Carlton and traveled South on the trail for a few miles, turned and headed back to the trailhead where we saw the connecting Alex Leveau Trail. Rode that for a few... More

My husband and I used to go biking there all summer long and through fall. It's a fairly challenging ride but well worth it as the view from part of the trail is beautiful. But to be fair the entire trail is a gorgeous trip through nature. We now have young children, old enough to bike so we are looking... More
