Crow Creek, Superior Hiking Trail

Within Superior National Forest, Crow Creek provides hike-in access to four tent pads positioned above a creek drainage. The US Forest Service maintains this backcountry site along the Superior Hiking Trail with a pit toilet and fire ring, though the bench seating shows wear from regular use.

The site sits elevated above Crow Creek itself, requiring hikers to descend for water access. During late summer and fall months, the creek runs low with minimal flow. Dense tree cover provides shade across the camping area, while views of the surrounding canyon remain largely obscured by vegetation. Campers can find campgrounds around Grand Marais for vehicle-accessible alternatives. This location works best for backpackers comfortable with basic facilities and seasonal water limitations.

High above creek that’s unreliable late season

This site has potential but in September Crow Creek is barely a trickle. The site sits high above the creek so you have to walk down to get water. It would be great if you actually had views of the canyon that you’re sitting above but you might have to wait till winter to see them. If you visit in the heat of Summer the site is well treed to provide lots of shade and the tent pads (4) are fairly spacious. The fire pit bench was falling apart but still a few sections available to sit. Like all sites on the SHT this site contains a pit toilet close by.
