Do you enjoy hiking?

One favorite of those who drive the Circle Tour is Duluth, Minnesota and its Canal Park Lakefront. Duluth's Lakewalk trail is a favorite of hikers, walkers, and bikers. Traveling north of Duluth along the Minnesota North Shore offers one of the nations top hiking trails, the Superior Hiking Trail. Over in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is another top rated hiking trail system: Porcupine Mountains Park. Wisconsin's Bayfield Peninsula is home to the Apostle Islands Lakeshore Park and Madeline Island, with its historic village of LaPointe, is another popular destination. Get some healthful exercise walking around this historic town or drive out to Big Bay State Park for their network of hiking trails.
