Pine forest in Hartley Park
Susie A.

Can't believe I lived in Duluth while going to UMD and never knew about this large, beautiful park not far from campus. There are hiking trails, mountain biking trails, and cross country ski trails. Great views from the top of Knob Rock and on the other side a pine forest that has a eerie feeling about it. You can walk and walk and walk the trails that seem to go on forever and feel like Hansel and Gretel. No maps are posted anywhere, but we did see an occasional person so I didn't totally panic. The nature center building had restrooms and a drinking fountain. It also had a stuffed owl & beaver and real turtles & snakes. This is a great place to get some exercise and take some nature photos.

This is an incredible (but very busy!) state park. We camped at walk-in site 83, which was hands…read moredown the best site in the park. The walk-in sites in general are all amazing, you're secluded from everyone else but still close to the amenities. Site 83 is about a 4-minute walk from where you park your car. There are two tent pads and plenty of space. It's a beautiful site--book it early! The amenities at the campground were great, plenty of places to recycle, fill up water, and throw out trash. The bathrooms are also very nice, but they are some of the busiest bathrooms I've ever seen! There are plenty of hiking trails as well, a great visitor center and gift shop, and it is an all around lovely state park.

I'm not super experienced at camping, but the campsites felt quite close together to me. Compared to other places we've been, the sites are much less private. AMENITIES: 5/5 The amount of water spickets and bathrooms around the site were great, and the showers/main bathroom facilities were nice! STATE PARK: 5/5 We loved walking a bit of the state park over the weekend! The suspension bridge is super cool, and it's really fun to walk on and explore the unique rock formations along the water.
