A historic event for the Superior Hiking Trail Association happened in September 2022 - we opened a newly constructed 4.7-mile section of Trail that officially closes the infamous “Gooseberry Gap”.
The Superior Hiking Trail is known to intimately and immersively connect people to some of the most scenic wild spaces in Minnesota. When access was lost on a private parcel of land north of Gooseberry State Park in 2015, and subsequently detoured trail users on a road walk and a paved state trail, the Trail community was devastated.
The loss of the temporary easement required seven years of hard work to reroute. This video details the full effort: environmental assessment, permitting, fundraising, route finding, and trail building. The Gooseberry Gap serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of following SHTA user guidelines and Leave No Trace Principles. Video by SHTA volunteer Marty Anderson.
