      Gitchi Gami State Trail

      $4.25

      Downloadable pdf file. The best views of Lake Superior you will get from the seat of a bicycle.

We spent the week of the 4th up on the North Shore.  The Gitchi Gami got a brand new extension north up and over the Onion River.  It doesn’t quite reach the Lutsen Resort yet, but they have bridge with no trail connection over the Poplar River and are clearly headed that way.  I took some pictures and loaded them to Flickr, have a look.
