About this place

This trailhead provides access to the Superior Hiking Trail on the north end of the Cascade Loop which provides access to the east and west sections of the trail. The main SHT is on the west side of the river. The spur trail on the east side of the river has a crossing of Trout Creek with no bridge, which may not be passable in the spring or after rain events. The trail heading towards Bally Creek features views of Eagle Mountain, the tallest point in Minnesota. At Hwy. 61 milepost 101.5, turn left on Co.

Overnight parking is okay.
