2663

Trail Overview

This trail is narrow and unmaintained, with sections of red soil and an abundance of wildflowers during June. It winds through the landscape with a bumpy surface and, as of June 2025, was obstructed by a fallen tree. The trail features deep drainage ditches on either side, which can make turning difficult for longer vehicles. However, side-by-sides and ATVs should be able to navigate it without issue. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along the trail, and it lacks services such as trash disposal and potable water. Cell coverage may be limited in this 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.
