For cyclists, the Gitchi-Gami State Trail is a North Shore treasure. This paved, multi-use trail runs along Lake Superior, offering riders incredible views, gentle grades, and plenty of opportunities to stop and explore.

From Poplar River Condos, you’re just across the road from trail access. Ride through forests, past rocky shorelines, and into quaint towns like Tofte, Lutsen, and Grand Marais. The trail is perfect for a leisurely family ride or a longer workout for more serious cyclists.

Along the way, you’ll find scenic picnic spots, beaches, and photo-worthy overlooks. In summer, the cool lake breezes make for ideal riding conditions, while fall brings bursts of color around every curve. Whether you bring your own bike or rent locally, this trail is a fantastic way to experience the North Shore at your own pace.
