At 192 miles, the St. Louis River is one of the longest rivers that’s wholly contained in the state of Minnesota, and its entire length is contained within the state’s Arrowhead Region. Over its course, the St. Louis River contributes to unique ecosystems, picks up tributaries, and shows off its power at Jay Cooke State Park, before flowing into Lake Superior as the largest feeder river of the largest lake in the world. You can explore a secluded stretch of the iconic St. Louis on a secluded riverfront trail in Minnesota near the tiny community of Forbes.

While it’s not the best known hike in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, this secluded riverfront trail in Minnesota shows off some of our state’s truly incredible features. Be sure to linger in the area to explore the amazing Sax-Zim Bog, stop by the charming town of Meadowlands, and grab a bite to eat at the Wilbert Cafe in Cotton. Cell service can be spotty here, so when I go, I usually use an offline map that I’ve downloaded from AllTrails Plus – not only is the map handy, AllTrails also offers trail reviews and updates.
