Epic Hikes of the World ( PDFDrive )

Not all coastal hikes follow the ocean. As any North American geography student
can tell you, Lake Superior is one of the world’s largest bodies of fresh water, so it’s
only fitting that it has its own trail, a 310-mile (499km) monster that roughly
parallels the lake’s Minnesota shoreline from the Wisconsin border to Canada.
Skirting clifftops and ridgelines above the lake for most of its length, the trail
crosses through seven state parks and offers nearly 100 fee-free campsites for
hikers. Much of the route is heavily forested with northern species such as birches,
aspens, fir, cedar and pine, interspersed with stream and river crossings and
occasional forays down to lake level to take in scenic attractions like the centuryold
Split Rock Lighthouse.
