Very nice and smoothly paved bridge with a nice view

Bob Smith Memorial Bench is at a viewpoint overlooking the St. Louis River Estuary. From here, peer down into the land conservancy project protecting the St. Louis River and the headwaters in Minnesota's Northwoods. The water below flows into Lake Superior and forms a 12,000-acre freshwater estuary.

The Willard Munger State Trail, spanning between Hinckley and Duluth, offers trails for hiking, biking, in-line skating, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. This scenic trail passes through northern hardwood forests, pine stands, and bog-filled hills. It also follows a historic railroad route that saved lives during the Hinckley and Cloquet fires in the 19th century. Visitors have the opportunity here to spot a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, raccoons, foxes, porcupines, and occasionally bobcats or black bears.

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.

One of the most scenic spots in Duluth is the Saint Louis River, where you can admire the rushing rapids and the rocky gorge carved by the water.

This is a good park to rest at. If you pack a lunch with you or need a quick nap, do it here. There is a water fountain here to refill your bottles.

Nothing special here, just a chopper on a stick. Cool photo op.

Great spot for some pictures to show off how far you've rode if you start the trail from Hinckley, MN.
