Hiking at Cascade River State Park

Hiking at Cascade River State Park

Cascade River State Park is a true hiking experience through the Northwoods of Minnesota. A 1.2 mile loop hike will take you past several waterfalls, and you can explore further along the river by taking each of the spur trails. Additionally, Cascade River has a 1.5 mile shoreline along Lake Superior that can be hiked along the rocks - a feature that is very rare and a wonderful way to experience Lake Superior up close.

Planning a Trip to the North Shore

Planning a Trip to the North Shore

From Duluth to the Canadian Border, these are my favorite places to stop along Lake Superior’s North Shore of Minnesota. Included are favorite hikes at Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Light House, Tettegouche, Temperance River, Cascade, George Crosby Manitou, Judge Magney, Grand Portage, and the Superior Hiking Trail. See amazing waterfalls, spend time on a beach, skip rocks, hike to incredible overlooks, and canoe through lakes clean enough to drink from.
