Great for children and folks who don't want to walk far. If you're looking for more, there are several trails you can take! We ended up doing a 4-mile moderate hike to the lookout point in the park - and it delivered with stunning views of Lake Superior and the trees from up high. I'll definitely be doing this one again in the fall for foliage views! I'll let the photos do the talking for this review :) The trails are mostly well-maintained, the scenery is wonderful, and we're so lucky to have yet another stunning, waterfall-laden State Park on the North Shore.

Ride to the top of the mountain and stay as long as you like. There is a cafe with a few food items and then the equally beautiful ride to descend again. We all really enjoyed it and the workers even offered to take photos of us without being asked. It was relaxing and so worth the money. This hidden gem is worth the treck.

You can either hike the main trail, which is nice and connects to the Superior Hiking Trail, or if you're feeling adventurous, you can actually hike up the creek in the water. Either way it's a beautiful place to hike.

A true gem of Minnesota that some people in the southern part of the state have never experienced. If you are a person who loves outdoors you need to explore the Superior National Forest.

My poor little sister was just trying to roast a marshmallow and got carried off by a swarm of the biggest mosquitos I've ever seen. I will sure miss her. There are even deer flies here if you've never experienced those before - my condolences if you have. Too much rain too. Horrid thunderstorms both nights of camping. I woke up to the loudest cracks of lightening in my life, and spent the rest of the night swimming in my tent. Didn't find any blueberries either. Good thing it was free to visit, it was worth the money...

Stayed here on Sunday (got the last room available) to get rested up for skiing at Lutsen the next…read moreday (what a disappointment Lutsen Ski was) and it is such a cozy place, both inside the reception area, and in the motel room. The wind was blowing outside heavily (up to 40 mph winds I believe) and it made for a great experience, as you could hear the waves (which were just 100 feet away down the hill) and howling winds, but it was contrasted perfectly with the warm hotel room. Perfect sleeping weather as the combo created a God like white noise. Comfortable beds, clean, comfortable sheets and linens, even a refrigerator and two burner stove, all for about $120, not to mention the best part (the above descrbed ambiance)..a really fair deal! Front desk folks were really nice too. In the future, whenever I go to Lutsen, I'll definitely be staying at Solbakken.

When reviewing a hotel, for me, the main question is always: Would you stay there again? And the…read moreanswer is yes, in a heartbeat! My 3 priorities were all there: price, convenience, and cleanliness. The pros: ~The price: My group got a package through the lutsen website. The price for 2 nights of lodging and 2 days of lift tickets was ridiculously cheap. This is the main reason I liked this place so much. ~The location: We went to ski, and it was extremely convenient to Lutsen ski area. It was also right on Lake Superior so were able to get some very beautiful scenic shots by the lake. ~It was clean. ~Easy check in and out....Minimal interaction....I barely saw the people who run the place. But I prefer it like that. Cons: ~Walls in the motel were pretty thin. So if you're looking for some privacy, try one of cabins (and they're closer to the lake) ~Water pressure was a little low. It was only really low in one of our rooms so I think that's fixable.
