  • Superior Hiking Trail Rises to Craggy Peaks and Plunges Into Forests of Birch, Maple, Spruce, Cedar, and Pine
    Photography by Gary Alan Nelson A Trail With a View For spectacular vistas, follow a footpath along the North Shore’s rocky ridge. Are you up for a day hike in one of Minnesota’s most dramatic landscapes? The Superior Hiking Trail rises to craggy peaks and plunges into forests of birch, maple, spruce, cedar, and pine. It crosses rushing streams and opens to panoramas of Lake Superior and the highlands. Built just for hiking and backpacking, the 296-mile footpath runs from Jay Cooke State Park to the Ontario border. Each year more than 50,000 hikers explore parts of this sensational trail. With 53 trailhead parking lots, one about every 5 to 10 miles, you can easily hop on and hike for an hour or a day. Here’s a look at some of the sights along three stretches. 26 Minnesota Conservation Volunteer July–August 2014 27 Gooseberry to Split Rock Gooseberry Falls State Park is a popular starting point. In the park, a bench overlooks the Gooseberry River. Markers assure hikers they’re on trail. This 6-mile section follows Bread Loaf Ridge. Atop a cliff, hikers gain a bird’s-eye view. During spring and fall, hikers can see migratory birds along this North Shore flyway. July–August 2014 29 Waterfalls on the Gooseberry River create a soundscape. From time to time, hikers get a view of the open sky over the big lake. In the late 1890s, lumber companies logged the land along the river. By the 1920s logging and fire had cleared the pines.

THE ROLE OF LOW FLOW HABITAT AND INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION 1 IN LIMITING ANADROMOUS PARR ABUNDANCE IN NORTH SHORE STREAMS by Tracy L. Close Fisheries Biologist and David A. Belford Fisheries Biologist and Steven E. Colvin Fisheries Biologist and Charles S. Anderson Coldwater Fisheries Research Supervisor Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Section of Fisheries 1 This project was funded in part by the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration (Dingell~Johnson) Program. Completion report, Study 222, D-J Project F-26-R Minnesota. ABSTRACT We investigated the roles of summer low flow habitat and interspecies competition as limiting factors of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), and steelhead (£. mykiss, formerly Salmo gairdneri) parr in North Shore streams. Macro-and micro-habitat availability and use by allopatric and sympatric populations were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression. Sunnner densities of age 0 and age 1 or older (l+) age classes were highly variable and were independent of measured low flow habitat variables and the densities of potentially competing species. Steelhead and Atlantic salmon parr preferred fast-water habitats and avoided pools. Chinook salmon parr were found in deeper water than steelhead parr and Atlantic salmon parr, but snout velocities were similar. Overhead cover was a significant component of habitat use models for all ages of steelhead and Atlantic salmon, but overhead cover did not limit abundance.

  • ATLAS of the SPAWNING and NURSERY AREAS of GREAT LAKES FISHES Volume II - Lake Superior
    Biological Services Program FWS/OBS-82/52 SEPTEMBER 1982 ATLAS OF THE SPAWNING AND NURSERY AREAS OF GREAT LAKES FISHES Volume II - Lake Superior Great Lake - St. Lawrence Seaway Navigation Season Extension Program Fish and Wildlife Service Corps of Engineers U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Department of the Army The Biological Services Program was established within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to supply scientific information and methodologies on key environmental issues that Impact fish and wildlife resources and their supporting ecosystems. The mission of the program is as follows: o To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on national fish and wild- life resources, particularly in respect to environmental impact assessment. o To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major changes in land and water use. o To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relatfng to energy development. Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Research activities and technlcal assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, a determination of the decisionmakers involved and their informatlon needs, and an evaluation of the state of the art to identify information gaps and to determine priorities. This is a strategy that will ensure that the products produced and disseminated are timely and useful.

  • Posted Boundaries and Fish Sanctuaries on Lake Superior Tributaries
    Division of Fish and Wildlife Section of Fisheries May 2020 Posted Boundaries and Fish Sanctuaries on Lake Superior Tributaries The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources-Section of Fisheries has established regulations and fish sanctuaries on Lake Superior tributaries to protect migratory fish species from Lake Superior, particularly native coaster Brook Trout, and also to extend fishing seasons for other species. Fish sanctuaries have permanent or seasonal closures (Minnesota administrative rule 6264.0500) to protect fish in vulnerable locations during spawning seasons and to restrict fishing near dams, fish traps and egg collection stations. Fish sanctuaries are marked by signs hung by cables, attached to natural features or on posts. Posted boundaries for areas covered by Lake Superior and below-boundary tributary regulations are marked by yellow signs posted near the stream at the upstream end of the boundary. Posted boundaries specify the location on a stream where fishing regulations change and generally correspond to areas accessible to fish migrating upstream from Lake Superior. When a stream has no impassible barrier, such as a waterfall, the posted boundary is marked at a road crossing or other landmark. Streams with a posted boundary at the stream mouth or Minnesota/Wisconsin state line will not have a physical sign posted. Regulations for below posted boundary areas are: Most people fishing Lake Superior or its tributaries will need a trout/salmon stamp validation in addition to a Minnesota angling license (see MNDNR fishing regulations). Many special possession limits and size restrictions apply for trout and salmon caught below the posted boundaries (see MNDNR fishing regulations).
