Duluth Natural Surface Trails Open to Users beginning on Saturday, May 14, 2022
[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division is excited to announce that a number of natural surface trails will be open starting 12:00 pm Saturday, May 14, 2022. City staff ask trail users to observe proper trail etiquette and stewardship by respecting individual trail closures and avoiding any wet/muddy trails. If you notice that you are leaving a footprint or bicycle tire imprint on a trail, it is best to turn around to reduce the potential for additional trail damage. If encountering a wet/muddy spot in an otherwise completely dry trail, it is best to go through the wet, or muddy place to prevent widening of the path. Trails will close after a rainfall event and typically take 24 hours to dry and reopen afterward.
See below a listing of which trails are currently open or closed (*DT = Duluth Traverse).
