This trail is on the looser end of the limestone bed trails. It's open to ATV's, so the surface is not as hard-packed as many. I would recommend mountain bike tires, but we did a stretch on hybrid size and did ok. The Ashland end is great, with pavement all the way and a nice loop that puts you along Lake Superior for some great views.
This is a fun trail if you like urban and scenic mixed together. Lots to see and explore along the way. Best signage on a trail we've ever seen. Take time to see the Bong Museum, great displays and history of the area. The bridge onto Barkers Island is a nice connection and a safe, relaxed place to ride.
Surface is 1" crushed rock, a lot of it is loose. Fine for mountain bikers, but not a ride for road bikes or kids. Really this is a walking path.
Downtown is always crowded, but crowd drops off rapidly as you leave downtown and go north toward Brighton Beach (60th Street). For another good ride walk bike across lift bridge and ride Lake/Michigan to end of street, about 4 miles. Just one stop sign in 4 miles, so can ride as fast as you want. Traffic drops off a few blocks from the lift bridge.
North 3 miles is a great ride along the waterfront. Don't miss Barker Island. The section from Bong Museum to Loon Point has been recently paved and is a nice ride. From Loon Point to the south end at Moccasin Mike Road (about 2 miles) there are transverse open joints at 20 ft. intervals that makes this the roughest ride I have experienced. To avoid the bumps take the parallel residential streets. Public restrooms at Loon Point and the Bong Museum.
West end near Superior has road rock (1") rather than screenings. Need 2" tires and ride slow, I was only comfortable at less than 10 mph. Have to be on the lookout for loose rock, not a pleasant ride. Better ride is Moccasin Mike road to the end of Wisconsin Point, dead end so not much traffic and good pavement.
Trail in good shape. Lots of signs telling you what businesses are off the trail and which direction. It's all black top.
Rode from Carlton to duluth. All downhill. Beautiful views, great scenery, lots of mature trees, all paved. Just a lot of fun. Would do the trail again. Only downfall? A few more signs, especially when nearing the big town...no real trailhead and no sign stating you were at the end of the trail.
started at the Bong Museum and rode out to Wisconsin Point and back. 20 mile round trip, a little bumpy at times but very nice.
I parked at Cooke park HQ and rode the spur to the main trail. I went south about 4 miles to where the trail closed then north of the spur about 6 miles (21 round trip). Pavement is mostly good with some sections freshly paved and most of it having some patches. Only a few sections had rough spots, but still very rideable. Being an old railroad track the slopes are gentle.
I was able to do about a 5 mile section at south e d before cold rain came in. Trail Is challenging with plenty of hills. It was a pleasure to ride. Here and there roots and plants are poking through the asphalt, but it does not take the joy from the ride.
