Jay Cooke State Park is located off I-35 south of Duluth Minnesota and borders Wisconsin. Its on the North Country Trail which extends from New York to North Dakota. The Superior Hiking Trail will eventually extend through the park allowing people to hike from Wisconsin to the Canadian border. The North Country Trail will probably be rerouted so that it follows this route. Its intended route covers an area that contains a lot of lakes & swamps that would make it difficult to build a trail. There are several campsites at the park, with the furthest one about 2 miles in. The trails are also used in winter for crosscountry skiing. The St Louis River which traverses the park is a popular area for whitewater kayaking, something I'd like to get back into.
