Tower Multi Use Trail

Saturday, December 23, 2023

Other Names

St. Louis County, Vermilion Lake

Last Known StatusTemporarily Closed  (closed indefinitely)

While not a major OHV destination, this trail is located next to Lake Vermilion, voted as one of the top 10 most beautiful lakes in the United States. The trail connects the town of Tower to McKinley Campground and a public beach.

The area offers numerous camping and boating opportunities, and highlights include primitive campsites and picnic areas located on Hinsdale Island that can only be accessed by a boat. For a unique camping opportunity rent an entire island! Nearby Soudan Underground Mine State Park offers visitors daily tours from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
