Carlton Peak via Superior Hiking Trail is a 7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Schroeder, Minnesota that features a river. The trail is rated as moderate and is primarily used for hiking and running. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
December 10, 2020Beautiful hike. Nice mix of being beside the river and in the woods. Trail was slightly muddy in spots due to higher temp. Some slicker/icy areas. Wore microspikes and it was a breeze.
December 6, 2020Any portion of the SHT is going to be great, but when there’s a mountain overlook it’s even better. There are some icy portions during the final climb, but overall it’s a pretty steady elevation gain and generally scenic trail. The round trip with the temperance river hiking club trail is my recommendation.
November 28, 2020Beautiful section of the SHT. 27° at start of hike. 41° by the end. Snow covered and slickernshit on the verticals but still a great day on the trails
November 8, 2020October 22, 2020October 15, 2020Beautiful trail! Lots of birch trees and a lovely walk along the river for the beginning and end. Easy path to follow. Some roots but mostly a well maintained trail.
October 15, 2020October 11, 2020Excellent hike with amazing waterfall views and Lake Superior from the peak. We hiked out and back with 1yr old son in a backpack carrier with no issue; just be mindful of your step up and down the steeper portions. Well worth the trip!
October 4, 2020It was a really nice hike. the summit is well worth the track.
October 3, 2020October 2, 2020September 27, 2020Great trail with a fantastic views. It was not as crowded as the Bean n Bear Lake
September 27, 2020An excellent hike!
September 26, 2020September 23, 2020One of the better summit hikes on the north shore. Tofte Peak had eve n better views than Carlton. Highly recommend the short jaunt there. Trail is mostly flat until the last half mile scramble up. Not quite a 14er but not bad for MN!
September 23, 2020Took the shorter out-and-back starting at Britton Peak Trailhead, a little over 3 miles round trip. Tofte Overlook is worth checking out too.
September 20, 2020September 20, 2020Beautiful hike
September 16, 2020September 15, 2020Absolutely beautiful. I definitely recommend hiking over to see Tofte Peak. That was my favorite part.
September 8, 2020An excellent hike!
September 6, 2020Great! Wear long hiking pants as some of the brush is taller. Beautiful views and would definitely do it again!
September 3, 2020September 1, 2020August 30, 2020An ambitious trek to one of the best views on the North Shore. I consider myself an intermediate level hiker and found this to be a solid test yet totally doable. The last half mile is a good scramble and the payoff at the end is worth it. It’s hard to beat the Temperance River Gorge as a setting for the end of this one.
