2194

Trail Overview

This trail turns off the main paved road and continues as a mostly wide, well-maintained gravel track with the occasional pothole. It crosses a swampy section via a narrow bridge with a raised berm, which requires some caution, especially when other vehicles are present. There are no designated or informal campsites along the way, and travelers won't find amenities such as trash bins or drinking water. Cell service may be spotty, so it's best to plan accordingly before heading in.

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.
