The Magnetic Rock Trailhead is located just off of the Gunflint Trail, also known as County Road 12. This trailhead is also part of the Border Route Trail, which runs along the border between the USA and Canada. There is parking available here, and it is a 1.5 mile walk to Magnetic Rock.
At the trailhead you will also find a billboard with information about the trail, as well as BWCAW permits and a permit box. Permits must be used when entering the BWCAW area.
