36

Trail Overview

This trail is generally wide and in fair condition, though the surface is sandy and dusty, with noticeable corrugation near a few homesteads. It becomes winding in places, so it's a good idea to watch for local traffic, especially on blind corners. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along the route, and basic services like trash disposal and water are unavailable. Cell phone coverage may be unreliable, depending on your location along the trail.

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
