Trail Description:
O.K. trails, not well maintained. Some grass up to my neck, yeah neck. All the trails are mild except for the Lower Triangle Loop which is decent but short. Cool swinging bridge, they say no bikes but whatever. Connects to the Willard Munger Trail that is paved and goes on forever like 100mi. You can ride the Munger into Duluth (12mi.) There are free trail maps at the visitors center.
