Superior Hiking Trail Association

The Association

The Superior Hiking Trail Association (SHTA) protects, renews, and enhances the Superior Hiking Trail. We believe the Trail is a resource for everyone. Our staff work to improve the experience on the Trail and strive to connect the aspirations of those who use the Trail with those who care for the land. We are leading the charge by harnessing the power of volunteers, supporters, partners and trail users to break down barriers, engage participants, and create deeper relationships between people and nature. We do this for many reasons, but most importantly – to protect our natural landscape and preserve it so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Headquartered in Two Harbors, Minnesota, the Superior Hiking Trail Association manages, maintains and promotes over 300 miles of trail, 94 primitive campsites and 60 trailheads. Our talented team is made up of five full-time and two part-time employees, 15-member Board of Directors, a handful of seasonal-contractors and hundreds of passionate volunteers that keep it all going.

This year SHTA celebrates 39 years of trail stewardship. To learn about what we do: https://superiorhiking.org/about-the-association/
