Knife River Trail follows a scenic gorge and the Knife River where it meets Lake Superior — ideal for river, rocky shoreline, cascades, and autumn foliage shots. Expect layered cliffs, a historic riverside community, and a rail bridge that add compositional interest. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side light and reflections; spring runoff and fall color peak are most dramatic. Trailheads along Hwy 61 provide free parking; trails are moderate with stairs and roots — wear grippy shoes. No
