This is a continuation of a travel series to Wisconsin and Minnesota's North Shore. To start at the beginning, go HERE. The rest of the posts in consecutive order are HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE!
After enjoying the morning soaking in the views at Palisade Head and Shovel Point, we had a nice picnic lunch then headed out for our last hike of the day: the Cascade Trail.
We picked up the trail behind the visitor's center so we could enjoy the views of the Baptism River Mouth. If you want to make your hike shorter to the falls, you can skip this part and park in a lot closer to the start of the Cascade Falls trail; but then you would miss out on all this beauty, so why would you want to do that? 😉
Baptism River Mouth Trail
The Baptism River Mouth Trail is a short trail that provides beautiful overlooks of where the Baptism River flows into Lake Superior. You can also hike a few flights of stairs down to the shore line if you'd like.
This is really a pretty spot, not to be overlooked, so I highly recommend not missing it if you ever get a chance to visit this park.
There is a road bridge right above this spot, so if you want to avoid hiking at all, and just see the view, you can drive onto the bridge and enjoy!
Cascade Falls Trail
The Cascade Falls Trails is an easy, 1.8 mile out and back trail that meanders along the river with the highlight of a lovely waterfall at the end.
This is a short, easy trail, so take your time and enjoy all the scenic views along the way!
At the very end, you have to scramble over or around some large rocks, but it is worth it to see this view.
It is a wonderful spot to slip off your shoes and enjoy the cool water.
Have A Great Day! Amy
