The Story of the Lake Superior Trail
Imagine yourself stepping onto the rugged and remote Lake Superior Trail, a hidden gem in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Starting near White Pine, Michigan, this 17.1-mile out-and-back trail promises an adventure like no other. Known as the most challenging trail in the park, it beckons backpackers, bird watchers, and campers with its stunning vistas and varied terrain. As you begin your journey, the trail meanders along the majestic shoreline of Lake Superior, offering breathtaking views that seem to stretch endlessly.
Every step on this moderately challenging route, which takes an average of 5 hours and 37 minutes to complete, immerses you deeper into the wilderness. The sound of cascading waterfalls and the sight of the Presque Isle River add a touch of magic to your hike. Wildlife sightings are common, adding an element of surprise and delight. While the trail is popular, especially during the peak seasons from March through November, there are moments of solitude to be found, particularly during quieter times of the day. And for those bringing their four-legged friends, dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash. The Lake Superior Trail is not just a hike; it’s a journey through the raw and untouched beauty of Northern Michigan.
