Temperance River

Trail Overview

This trail runs parallel to Lake Superior before turning inland and climbing back into the forest. It follows a wide, well-maintained gravel surface with a few bumps along the way, but remains easy to navigate. The route passes several Superior National Forest hiking trails, as well as a non-motorized trail, making it a popular corridor for both recreational and local use. Designated parking areas are located near the trailheads. The main road continues uphill and eventually connects with the Cross River Trail. Drivers should be alert for a mix of local, tourist, and commercial traffic, especially during peak travel periods. While the trail offers scenic views and convenient access to recreational trails, it does not provide any formal or dispersed camping options. There are no amenities such as drinking water, restrooms, or trash disposal along the route. Cell phone reception may be limited depending on the location.
