Description
Approximately 1/4 mile downstream from Hwy.210, a trestle spans the river. This former rail line is now the multi-use "Munger Trail", affording hikers, bikers and roller-bladers an impressive view of the gorge. This paved "rail-trail" connects to the outskirts of Duluth, and makes a fine recreational alternative for non-paddlers, or paddlers taking an 'off-river' day. There is a fairly steady 2% grade downhill from Thomson to Duluth. (Or, conversely, a steady 2% uphill grade from Duluth to Thomson.)
The old railroad bridge on the Munger Trail (as well as some overlooks on the river-left bank) provide good overhead viewing of the Second Rodeo Hole in the heart of the gorge.
