Magnet Rock, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Minnesota
About This Trail
Magnetic Rock is located near the end of the historic Gunflint Trail (which is a road not a trail). Magnetic Rock is a 1.5-mile out and back hike to a 30-foot monolith glacial erratic sticking straight out of the ground! Bring your compass to test out how
magnetic it is. Your kids will love climbing all over the rock, and if you bring magnets, the kids can hold them to the rock and watch them stick.

Hike it Baby Trail Guide is managed by the Family Trail Guide team. If a trail has been “abandoned” by the initial owner, it gets adopted by the team. Also, if there are no trails in the area, the Family Trail Guide team researches trails that are family friendly in the area to insure that hikes cover all areas where Hike it Baby hikes.
