Three key sections of this paved, non-
motorized trail are ready to ride. When
complete, the trail will run 88 miles from Two
Harbors to Grand Marais. Ride 14.1 miles from
the shores of Lake Superior in Gooseberry
Falls State Park, parallel along the south side
of Highway 61, past Split Rock Lighthouse
State Park all the way to Beaver Bay. For easier
parking, begin your ride in Beaver Bay and ride
southwest.
A more moderate ride is the 7.3-mile span
from Tofte to Lutsen. Park at the base of the
Ski Hill Road [no parking in Tofte] and pedal
past the golf course, through the tunnel and
lakeside to Tofte for coffee, lunch or snacks
before returning. Note: if you want
to continue to Schroeder, you MUST
walk your bike along the lakewalk
to Bluefin Bay [do not ride on Hwy
61], then you can ride along the Tofte
Park Road. Riding on to the Cross
River in Schroeder requires you to
dismount and cross Highway 61.
A final short ride is available on the
1.5-mile trail leading west up the hill
out of Grand Marais. Include a stop at
the Gunflint Ranger Station for more
ideas of how to spend a day in the
woods. Of course, the Gitchi Gami is
ideal for walkers and runners, too!
