Superior Trails: A Lake Superior Circle Tour Travel Guide to interesting places to see and things to do . . . including Scenic Drives, Hiking, Waterfalls, Camping, Campgrounds, State & National Parks, Wilderness Areas and other recreational attractions.

Hi . . . Ross and Jo Reinhold here.

We're glad you dropped in. We'd like to share with you some travel notes and pictures for exploring, hiking, canoe tripping, waterfall discovery and camping along Lake Superior's Scenic Roads & Byways. We cover cities, villages, and scenic and recreational attractions along Minnesota's North Shore, Ontario's North and East Shore, and the South Lake Superior Shore of the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and Wisconsin.

We'll highlight some of the places we've found worthwhile to visit and explore. We'll also recommend some places to stay whether that be comfortable lodging, a full service campground, or roughing it. A favorite of many Circle Tour travelers is Duluth, Minnesota and its Canal Park Lakefront. The Minnesota North Shore boasts one the nations top hiking trails, the Superior Hiking Trail. Over in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is another top rated hiking trail system: Porcupine Mountains State Park. Wisconsin's Bayfield Peninsula is home to the Apostle Islands National Park. The Ontario route takes you through the remnants of a mountain range that once was higher than the Rockies, with dramatic views of Lake Superior. Whether you take the whole route or just visit a particular region around Lake Superior, you'll enjoy the experience.

This outdoor experience & travel-recreation site is brought to you by people who have been there, done that, and are still doing it!
