Lake Superior Water Trail

Lake Superior Water Trail Header

The Lake Superior Water Trail (LSWT) is a network of mapped access points and recreational resources along Wisconsin's Lake Superior south shore. The water trail provides a framework for a wealth of environmental, historical, and cultural experiences accessible along the Lake Superior coastline. The LSWT consists of two segments: a 40-mile segment from the St. Louis River to Port Wing and a 30-mile segment from Ashland to the Montreal River at the Wisconsin-Michigan state line.

The LSWT project represents the culmination of 3 years of work on behalf of a multi-organizational partnership involving state, federal, regional and tribal government, Wisconsin Coastal Management and the Inland Sea Society.
