Along the Trail

At the northern end of the Gunflint Trail, at a paved county road traveling north out of Grand Marais, hikers can enter the Kekekabic Trail and hike southwest toward Ely. The Kekekabic travels through remote wilderness areas and should only be attempted by experienced hikers with knowledge of map and compass navigation. The trail is managed and maintained by a group of dedicated volunteers with the help of the National Forest Service.

 

The Kekekabic Trail is a one of a kind wilderness trail for experienced backcountry hikers. However, this day hike is a good way to get to know the “Kek” without venturing too far into the wilderness.
