At ~300 miles this is arguably the finest semi-long distance trail in the midwest and rated as one of the top trails in the nation by Backpacker Magazine. The name is somewhat deceiving as the trail is rarely on the lakeshore, but do not be deterred. The wonders of this trail are found in the surprisingly mountainous nature of Minnesota's North Shore with many scenic views from rocky outcroppings and the numerous pristine rivers and waterfalls. Best of all, Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake (by surface area) is always lurking and impacting this beautiful country. The Superior Hiking Trail Association has done a fantastic job creating and maintaining this trail.
