Bold wasn’t the first word that crossed my mind ;-) we had the same concern about the ATV trail but it is fairly wide and the few atvs that came along we’re at moderate speed. Happy trails.
I like that you talk about LNT and kayak safety. I saw a guy on Superior this summer. No wetsuit. Not wearing a PFD. I just shook my head. I went to Trudee for the first time this year. A friend shared a route that took me up Mount Rockwood Road (from 61, a little N of Silver Bay). Where it crosses Rocky Wall road, there is a small ATV parking lot where you can park. If you walk E on the ATV trail about a mile, you cross SHT. Mt. Trudee is only another 1.5 mi. Another .7 miles got us to a nice view looking down the Palisade Valley. Also, the heading for Mount Baldy says Mount Badly :-) always enjoy your posts.
No PFD is a bold move for sure on any lake, especially Superior. I’ve heard about the ATV routes for there and Bean & Bear but I’ve been a little hesitant to tackle them— both worries I’m going to get nailed by an ORV winging around a corner and used to the very clear signage on the SHT!

Mount Badly! Whoops! I’ll go fix it thank you!
