Fun and flowers this weekend at Jay Cooke State Park

Andrew Slade Jun 23, 2011 5 Comments

It’s Duluth’s own backyard state park. In half the time it takes to drive to Gooseberry, you can get reach this big park straddling the rugged St. Louis River valley. You could even ride your bike out the Munger Trail.

Head out to Jay Cooke State Park this weekend and check out the lady’s slippers that are blooming. Or get up early for a birdsong walk with Larry Weber. The St. Louis River should be raging under the Swinging Bridge. These ideas and more are on my blog.

Note, none of the reservable campsites are available. If you zoom up to the park tonight or early Friday, you could still snag one of the first-come, first-served campsites.

Here's some wild flowers from along the Munger Trail by Beck's Road, courtesy of my cheap camera.

I bet you could get there faster than gooseberry -- traffic north is slowed due to washouts on highway 61.

Captured some lovely photos of yellow lady slippers Sunday during a run on the Grand Portage Trail. I would share them, but don't think I am allowed to post photos yet.

Here's a crazy one on the shore of Dry Lake in the Superior National Forest near Ely.
