Trail Overview

This trail is long, wide, and made up of dusty but well-maintained gravel. It runs mostly straight, though there are some winding sections, particularly toward the lower portion. The southern section is popular with ATV riders as it passes through a mix of open fields, forested areas, and scattered homesteads. While the route is relatively easy to drive, the dust and occasional traffic from recreational users may require some caution. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along the trail, and amenities such as water and trash disposal are not available. Cell service is generally present throughout the area.

History

Covering more than 1.6 million acres of glacial lakes, red-pine uplands, and sphagnum bogs, Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest lets motorists experience the North Woods at an unrushed pace. Paved state highways soon yield to a lattice of numbered forest roads, most of them well-graded gravel that thread between kettle ponds and stands of towering white pine, the tree that helped earn the forest its 1908 designation as one of America's first national forests. The forest harbors one of the highest breeding densities of bald eagles in the continental United States, and patient drivers often glimpse loons, black bears, and white-tailed deer as they move from shoreline to clear-cut regrowth and back again.
