My family has adopted a section of the North Country National Scenic Trail within Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. The closest National Park (Voyageurs) is 200+ miles away so we can’t get there too often…but we can get out onto the North Country NST every month of the year. Our young kids love going to “their trail” and helping out.
Sincerely,
North Country National Scenic Trail
The longest point-to-point trail in the National Park System is the North Country Trail—or will be, when the trail is officially complete. The planned route will measure 4,600 miles from North Dakota to upstate New York, traveling through the Great Lakes region and highlighting the natural features and cultural history of the North Country region.
State(s): New York North Dakota, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Established: 1980
