About this place
Added by Laura Hill
Great hike, not too hard (a little steep at times), fun waterfall at the end!
This is a moderate trail, that gets a bit steep at times. Great views of the lake and has lots of spots to stop for a quick snack. Trail is well maintained, and there is a fun waterfall, which is great to splash around in.
The trailhead is super close to Ely, MN and has bathrooms.
Make sure to bring enough water and snacks, and practice leave no trace principals!
Also the lupine and blueberries were a treat :)
