All natural surface trails temporarily closed

 

[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division has temporarily closed all natural surface trails due to the annual spring thaw cycle until further notice. Examples of natural surface trails include the Duluth Traverse, the Superior Hiking Trail, and other dirt trail systems located within parks. The wet soil conditions make natural surface trails vulnerable to significant damage if walked or ridden on at this time. The City anticipates reopening the trails once surface conditions improve.

 

All City of Duluth cross-country ski trails will remain open for skiing as long as snow covers the trails. Hiking on ski trails is not permitted while snow is on the ground.

 

Paved and gravel surface trails are unaffected by the seasonal closure and remain open for use. These trails include:

 

  • Willard Munger State Trail
  • Campus Connector Trail between the College of St. Scholastica and University of Minnesota – Duluth and along Tischer Creek
  • Cross-City Trail from Bayfront Park to Irving Park
  • Duluth Lakewalk
  • Old Hartley Road
  • Amity Creek Trail
  • Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific Railway (DWP) Trail
  • Waabizheshikana: The Marten Trail
