County Road 20

County Road 20 is accessed from the paved Gunflint Road and serves as a central route through a busy tourist area. The trail is wide and well-maintained gravel, winding through a forested landscape with a mix of ascents and descents. This area is home to several lodges, canopy tour operators, canoe outfitters, and private residences, making it a hub of outdoor activity. Public water access is available, and both camping and lodging can be found along the route. Due to the high level of vehicle and foot traffic, especially during peak tourist seasons, it’s important to drive slowly and stay alert. While the area offers numerous recreational opportunities, the trail itself lacks basic amenities such as trash disposal and potable water. Cell service may be inconsistent or limited, particularly in more remote sections, so visitors should plan accordingly before heading out.
