Ely is a key gateway town and a meeting point for several trails, including the Mesabi Trail, the NCT, and the Kekekabic Trail. It’s a convenient stop before or after heading into the Boundary Waters Wilderness. Stock up on trail gear or food, enjoy a meal at Insula or the Boat House Brewpub, and stretch your legs on the Trezona Trail around Miners Lake. If you have time, make the short trip to Kawishiwi Falls—it’s well worth it for the beautiful views and a welcome break from the long trail miles.
