The Magical River Walk In Minnesota That Will Transport You To Another World
Minnesota may be known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but that doesn’t mean you should overlook our other bodies of water. In fact, the state is home to many rushing rivers that are well worth visiting. From the Mighty Mississippi to the stunning St. Croix, there are plenty of gorgeous rivers to see – and plenty of hikes to go along with them. One of the best river hikes is along northern Minnesota’s Vermilion River. This magical river walk is so beautiful that you’ll feel you’ve been transported to another world. Take a look:
Vermilion Gorge Trail is a trail in northern Minnesota. You'll find it near a tiny community called Crane Lake, 27 miles northeast of Orr, Minnesota.
Follow signs for the Voyageurs National Park office. The parking lot is past the office and to the left. It's very close to the gorgeous waters of Crane Lake.
