Activities / Snowbank Hiking Trail Map

There are many miles of hiking trails in the Ely area and  the BWCAW, and they have  a wide range of environments. These trails vary from those with hilly terrain and scenic overlooks to others that run through swampy areas, across streams and along lakes. They are maintained  by both the US Forest Service and the Kekekabic Trail Club. The Kekekabic Trail web site has some on-line maps.
