Travel Experts Say This Is Minnesota’s Most Breathtaking Trail:

Gooseberry Falls State Park was named the most scenic walk in the entire state, and if you’ve been, you already know why.

This spot isn’t just about its famous waterfalls, though, let’s be real, those falls are show stoppers. It’s also all about the panoramic views of Lake Superior, wooded trails that feel worlds away, and a peaceful loop that lets you soak it all in at your own pace.

The 300-mile Superior Hiking Trail, stretching along the shore of Lake Superior all the way to the Canadian border, is obviously far too much to pack into a day. But you can tackle a stunning slice of it with the three-mile loop to Fifth Falls, within Gooseberry Falls State Park."- Love Exploring.

Whether you’ve been there once or a hundred times, this trail’s beauty never gets old.
