Trail Overview

This trail runs along an old railroad grade off the Bill Nicholls trail back to the Bill Nicholls trail. It is an alternative to running through the towns of Painesdale, Trimountain, and South Range. The trail is easy on the North end but has a couple small water crossings on the South end that vary based on rainfall. The entrance to the South end is overgrown and very tight for large overlanding rigs. This is an ungroomed snowmobile trail in the winter.

Difficulty

The trail has a solid base most of the time. There can be mud after a heavy rain but it typically drains well and is not deep. Water crossings are never over 12"

History

Was a rail line that bypassed several mines to get directly to the copper mills on Lake Superior.

It’s was pretty dry, with a small water crossing not even a feet deep. I was easily able to do this trail in a low clearance AWD
