The Saint Louis River is a sight, especially from the historic truss bridge that crosses it on the William Munger Trail. You can feel the force of the water as it carves a deep gorge through the rocks, creating a dramatic contrast with the forested hills. The bridge is part of Jay Cooke State Park, where you can find plenty of hiking, biking, and camping. The park also features the Thomson Dam, a hint of Duluth’s industrial past.

Some amazing views of the St. Louis River Gorge. There's a nearly parking lot, so when I was biking through here, this section had a lot of pedestrians; that could change depending on the date and time you visit. There's also some trails down to the waters edge.
