Amazing Duluth recreation trails are everywhere in this city. You’ll be missing out on one of the greatest parts of your vacation if you don’t get out on the trails and Hike Duluth! Many of these trails are up on the hill so the vistas from the middle of the wilderness are breathtaking to say the least.
Many of these trails aren’t just for hiking! Many have beautifully paved trails; adequate for rollerblading, biking and more. Some even offer horseback riding!
The trails are listed with their location, what type of recreation they offer, how far the trail is and what experience level it is catering to.
*If the trails length is measured in Kilometers (K), that is indicating that it’s a groomed ski trail (groomed by the city of Duluth) during winter months. As such, a Minnesota Ski Pass is required to ski on those trails. During non-winter months, these trails are available to the public for hiking.
