Duluth natural surface trails open to users Saturday, May 13, 2023

 

 

[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division is excited to announce that a number of natural surface trails, outlined below, will be open starting at 12:00 pm on Saturday, May 13, 2023. City staff ask trail users to observe proper trail etiquette and stewardship by respecting individual trail closures and avoiding any wet or muddy trails. If you notice that you are leaving a footprint or bicycle tire imprint on a trail, it is best to turn around to reduce the potential for additional trail damage. If encountering a wet/muddy spot in an otherwise completely dry trail, it is best to go through the wet or muddy place to prevent widening of the path. Trails will close after a rainfall event and typically take 24 hours to dry and reopen after.

 

See below a listing of which trails are currently open or closed (*DT = Duluth Traverse). 

Users should anticipate encountering trail debris such as sticks, branches, and encroaching brush due to wet, heavy snowfall this past winter.
