The Duluth Budgeteer News had an article about volunteers working on the City of Duluth's Mission Creek Trail, a part of which is the Superior Hiking Trail spur from the Fond du Lac Park Trailhead (131st Ave. W). The city furnished all materials for the construction of some steep steps in a badly eroded clay trail. The article is no longer available for free online, but these images are still available from the Budgeteer's archived photo galleries (Oct 06, 2006).
