Trail Overview

This trail is well-maintained, wide, and mostly straight, though there are occasional corrugations and potholes along the way. It runs through a landscape of open grazing fields and farmland, offering a peaceful rural setting. Drivers should remain alert for deer, which are known to cross the trail unexpectedly. There are no formal or dispersed campsites available, and the route does not provide amenities such as water or trash disposal. Cell service is limited throughout much of the area, so checking your onX app for coverage ahead of time is recommended.

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

Access Description

Drivers who want a defined route can follow three state scenic byways--Avenue of the Pines (State Highway 46), Lady Slipper (Highways 39 and 238), and the Edge of the Wilderness (Highway 38). Each traces an old logging corridor and pauses at cultural touchstones such as the Norway Beach Visitor Center and the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps camp at Joyce Estate. Explorers who prefer to improvise may take any signed spur and soon find themselves alone beside a beaver-built wetland or watching the Mississippi River's headwaters twist through tamarack lowlands.
