view from magnetic rock, autumn trees and pines with magnetic lake in the distance, off the gunflint trail

 

Bring a Compass

gunflint mile 47.0

Hike to Magnetic Rock. This favorite 3.1-mile round-trip trail leads past a pond, through a blueberry patch, into a forest recovering from the 2007 Ham Lake Fire and up an easy ascent to this 60-foot magnetic rock. Test your compass at the top and then on your way out – see what happens!
