Minnesota Hiking Association: C.J Ramstad North Shore State Trail

C.J Ramstad North Shore State Trail

This is a 146 mile natural surface trail from Duluth to Grand Marais.This trail is mostly used by snowmobiles, it traverses St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties in northeastern Minnesota.

The trail winds its way through the forests behind the bluffs that overlook Lake Superior.It provides access to some of the most untamed and beautiful scenery in Minnesota.

This trail also connects the Grants-In-Aid (GIA) trails at Silver Bay, Beaver Bay, Finland, Tofte and Lutsen, as well as numerous local trails, created and maintained by local snowmobile clubs.

Our team has never hiked this trail in the summer months.We assumes some sections are hiked on,but some sections may be under water in the warmer months.

Being this is a 146 mile trail,there are ample spots to access it thru out the north shore.Here are a couple spots that may interest you,so you can at least check this trail out.

Lester River Park parking lot - Lester River Road off Highway 61

Martin Road Parking lot - at the northern edge of Duluth's city limits.

Volunteers Needed

Please take a moment to volunteer to help maintain a trail.

Whether it be collecting trash thrown along the path,to lending a helping hand with a shovel for repairs.

There are so many ways to help.Just a little time from others makes a huge difference.

We support no specific trail here in the state.We want you to support what trail matters to you.One in your community.Talk to them,and say "Hey..what can I do to help this trail?".

Take the time to appreciate trails in the state,and encourage others to get on out there and stretch the legs a bit.

There is nothing better than a good walk,or hike for mental & physical exercise.

ON THE OTHER HAND :

You don't need to volunteer...just give thanks,and a pat on the back to those who do maintain the trails here in the state.That's just as important as bending over to pick up a piece of trash.

Having those who care about our trail system here in Minnesota..helps the movement to maintain them.

So we thank you for visiting,and having an interest in looking up a trail,or looking for a new place to hike.

We are constantly adding new hiking paths to explore on a weekly basis.

The bottom line is.Take action and help be part of a path in Minnesota.Your interest alone will help keep it alive.

Find a trail system that interests you.

That's what we're about,and take it from there and stretch those legs :)
