More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the paved lot and into a forest that leans toward Lake Superior, the trees leaning and the wind seeming to push you gently toward the water. Pines and birch frame views of the lake between platforms; the air smells of resin and cold water. The course pulls you up into the canopy—planks tremble, cables sing, and a distant shoreline keeps its slow, steady presence.
