HIKING

22 miles added to Superior Hiking Trail

Quietly, in early September, a new 22-mile segment of the Superior Hiking Trail opened. And it may become popular with snowshoers this winter, said Gayle Coyer, executive director of the Superior Hiking Trail Association.

Favorite hiking trails: Grassy Point Trail stroll

My favorite hiking trail is the Grassy Point Trail in West Duluth. It follows Keene Creek, right by Irving Field, over Raleigh Street and into a parking area where there is a boardwalk over the water. I usually walk only as far as Raleigh Street, but do plan to tackle the whole trail one day soon. It’s a scenic, peaceful trail with many wildflowers, birds and wildlife. Deer may be seen in the paper mill field — the Laura MacArthur school forest project. I once saw a green heron on Keene Creek!
