Get ready for one of the most rewarding hikes on the North Shore. The Oberg Mountain Trail is a local favorite, offering absolutely stunning views for a relatively moderate effort. The trail itself is a loop of about 2.3 miles that takes you to several overlooks with breathtaking vistas of Lake Superior and the surrounding inland hills. It's especially popular in the fall when the colors are spectacular, but honestly, it's beautiful any time of year. Just a heads-up, the trailhead starts across the road from the parking area, and you should allow a couple hours to really soak it all in and stop for photos.
