Superior Hiking Trail Association in Two Harbors, Lake County, United States | Adventure Tourism

The Superior Hiking Trail is a 205-mile long distance footpath that follows the rocky ridgeline above Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota. It begins just north of Two Harbors, MN, and ends just before the Canadian border. The trail has 30 trailheads and 81 backcountry campsites making it ideal for both day hikes and backpacking. There are no fees, reservations or permits required to hike or backpack on the trail.

The Superior Hiking Trail was conceived by a group of visionaries in the mid-1980s who banded together to form the Superior Hiking Trail Association. SHTA is a member supported non-profit organization whose mission is to provide the human and financial resources to build, promote, maintain, protect and preserve a hiking trail along the ridgeline of the North Shore of Lake Superior. Please join SHTA to help continue to build and maintain this spectacular trail!

SHTA is building 40 miles of new trail in Duluth in 2004 - 2006.
