"Great hike to the summit from the parking area. Got there just as it started raining and thundering. Vistas are not quite as thrilling as along the Escarpment Trail, but fun to climb one of the highest peaks in the state. " — rick-brown • Aug 15, 2025

"Fun hike to the summit and to two superb scenic overlooks of the city and Lake Superior. When approaching, Mt. Marquette Road is one-way from east to west, so access it from U.S. 41. " — rick-brown • Aug 14, 2025

"Hiked the ski hill to the top and back down again. Excellent views of Lake Michigan. The elevation given on Peakery is incorrect as signs on the site state the peak is 743' and the Myelevation app says it was 753'." — rick-brown • Jul 17, 2023

"I made it to Mt. Arvon on my last trip to the area, so instead of torturing myself and the jeep going to Mt. Curwood, I decided to climb up this 2nd highest county HP / state park HP. The first half was a pleasant trail walk. When the time came to really hike uphill... behold! The state park people have built a "those not in shape" wooden stairs and walkway to the lookout and observation tower. No scrambling needed lol. After climbing the tower for the NW to NE view of Superior, I whacked through the woods to the highest spot I could find although there were no views there. Then it was on to the MN state HP." — SteveM_StickMan • Jul 11, 2023

"The north facing viewpoint of Lake Superior about 300 feet from the treed-in summit makes the back jarring drive to this remote state HP nearly worthwhile. Was considering going to Mt. Curwood also but figured I had put myself and the jeep through enough abuse for one day." — SteveM_StickMan • Oct 10, 2022
