About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the entirety of this remote northern landscape, dominated by a dense network of interconnected waterways and specialized trails. Gunflint Lake forms the northern boundary, marking the international border between Canada and the United States. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and ridges like Fox Ridge and Upper Gunflint South Rim, which provide structure to a geography shaped by the Tucker River and dozens of glacial lakes including Loon Lake and Long Island Lake.

Transport and access are characterized by the iconic Gunflint Trail and a web of historic portage and hiking routes. Long-distance paths such as the Border Route Trl and the Banadad Trl crisscross the forest, while specialized routes like the Bridal Veil Falls Trl and the Crab Lake Trail-Main Brt Trl indicate the area's importance for wilderness recreation and conservation at the time of this survey.
