  • Beautiful! Well maintained path. An easier path for those who want to enjoy all that nature has to offer. There are some inclines, so just remember what goes down, must go up. This time of year...

  • Easy and beautiful hike to Lake Superior through woods alongside Echo Dell. Very well maintained with lots of interesting features along the way. However, don't expect any real "falls": following a wet spell it could best be described as "trickley". As usual we went there around sunrise and arrived just after 6am (the time the automatic gates open). Be aware that the gates automatically close at 6pm and if your car gets locked inside then you are in trouble (your choices are pay a fine, walk or call an Uber). At sunrise on a weekday we had the place to ourselves.
  • Absolutely beautiful little hike down to Lake Superior! Very well maintained and gorgeous views. Parking lot is small so get there early if you want a spot to park.
