Kekekabic Trail, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness

The Kekekabic Trail, commonly referred to as 'The Kek', is a hiking trail that runs about 39 miles from Snowbank Road near Ely, Minnesota to the western terminus of the Gunflint Trail in northwestern Cook County. The Gunflint then proceeds southeastward, with its terminus at Grand Marais, Minnesota on Lake Superior. The Kekekabic Trail runs through the center of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and begins opposite the Snowbank Trailhead on the Ely side. Most of the trail lies in Lake County. It is known for being very remote, primitive and rugged in nature, and for solitude. ()
