Stroll along Lake Superior at Stoney Point, North Shore, MN

One of the most relaxing places to hike on the North Shore MN is on Stoney Point Drive. Many people know this one-mile stretch along Lake Superior as Stoney Point, Duluth. But it’s actually right in between Duluth and Two Harbors, MN. The gravel country road, Stoney Point Drive near Duluth, takes you along some of the most scenic Lake Superior Shoreline!

Drive or stroll along this one-mile loop off of Scenic 61 on the North Shore. On the east side of Stoney Point Drive, there is an inviting ledgerock and cobblestone beach on Lake Superior. It has been called, “a great place to escape from reality.”

On a nice day, it’s common to see people sunning on the ledgerock, rock hunting, admiring Lake Superior, or playing with their kids and/or dogs. Bicyclists often come here from Duluth or Two Harbors as well. 

 

This is one of the best spots to relax in the sun on a calm day or wave-watch on a stormy day. Hint: on a stormy day, you might find Lake Superior surfers here! 

 

Continuing along Stoney Point Drive near Two Harbors takes you along a quiet, country road with wildflowers and expansive Lake Superior views. All along the way, you’ll soak in the mood of the great Gitchi Gami (aka Lake Superior). 

It’s a perfect place to hike along the North Shore, MN (or stroll :))!
