Munger & Carlton Trails
Jay Cooke State Park, Carlton, MN
On April 14, 2024, Kim, Cash, and I made a quick hike on the Willard Munger State Trail near Jay Cooke State Park. The Munger Trail is a straight, flat, paved trail with a near bridge over the St. Louis River. Soon after the bridge, we left the Munger Trail on the Carlton Trail which generally follows along the St. Louis River. We did not have much time so we did a quick spur to the banks of the river and then followed the same trail back to the parking area. The trail along the river was very beautiful in places.
