Gravel Pits north of Duluth?

My sister bought me some tannerite for Christmas and I need a place to shoot it (aka not at a range). Any suggestions for good spots not too far north of Duluth? (The closer to Pike Lake the better)

Run up to the Marshall Trail or Brimson Road. Lots of clear-cuts there from past logging.

Most gravel pits are federal or private land. Just to let you know

A lot of state forests have open shooting pits during non hunting times. As stated above gravel pits are usually tagged no tresspassing.

Hahaha yikes. Realized last night that I couldn't even use it b/c you need to shoot it with a high-power rifle and I only have handguns and a .22. But when I eventually do go I'll make sure to triple check that its state land.
