2016 Map of Honeymoon Mountain

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this stretch of the North Shore highlands, where the Sawtooth Mountains rise sharply above the Lake Superior basin. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Temperance River, Onion River, and Poplar River carve through the high country. Numerous smaller basins such as Barker Lake, Pancake Lake, and Oberg Lake are linked by a dense web of recreational paths. This 2016 survey reveals the extensive development of the Sugarbush trail system, including the Sugarbush Maple Loop and the Sugarbush Oberg Lake Loop. These trails, alongside the long-distance Superior Hiking Trail, illustrate the modern era of the North Shore's transition from early timber extraction to a landscape primarily managed for conservation and backcountry recreation near Honeymoon Mtn.
