Outside Magazine just named 32 best trails, each with a different claim to fame — “Best Trail that Doesn’t Exist,” “Best Trail for Getting High,” etc. Four titles are awarded to trails in our Great Lakes states:
- Best Prehistoric Trail: Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Wisconsin
- Best Trail for Donating Blood: Superior Hiking Trail, Minnesota
- Best Canoe Trail: Northern Forest Canoe Trail, partly in New York
- Best Burrow: Freedom Tunnel, New York
The only one of these along a Great Lake, however, is Minnesota’s Superior Hiking Trail. This can’t be the only Great Lakes trail worthy of a spot on their list! So help us out. Name your favorite Great Lakes trail and its claim to fame in the comments below!
The only rule: You must be able to see a Great Lake from some point on the trail.
Qoheleth,
An excellent choice. For the record, we welcome nominations from both sides of the U.S./Canadian border. (Here at Echo we don’t say “other” side of the border because we define our news community as the watershed irrespective of political boundaries.)
So if Bruce is nominated as a best trail, what’s its claim to fame? Best
Great Lakes trail named for a guy?
Seems the Outside article is limited to US trails, which ignores some good Great Lakes hiking on the other side of the border. How about the Bruce Trail, which gives you Lakes Ontario and Huron?
