Hiking

Take a hike — it’s the best way to see the northern beauty all around the Cloquet area. Well-marked trails have been carefully designed to take you right to awe-inspiring vistas and breathtaking granite cliffs tens of thousands of years old.


Serene waterways and forested solitude are more your style? You’ll find it just around the bend. Whether you venture over the first hill or push the limit to the trailhead, you’ll return with the soothing spirit of the northern wilderness nestled deep in your soul.


So pack a lunch and grab your camera — there’s a million memories waiting to be made.
