Forest Service Road 379

Trail Overview

Trail 379 is a long stretch of well-maintained gravel and red dirt road that cuts through a mix of forest and wetland. The trail is built up significantly above the surrounding terrain, providing elevated views of the landscape but also requiring careful driving. Edges can be soft in places, and slipping off the raised roadway could have serious consequences, especially during or after heavy rain. The route is generally easy to drive, with a smooth surface and minimal obstacles, but caution is advised due to potential local traffic and the trail's narrow shoulders. The area is dotted with water features, adding to the trail's scenic character, especially where the road passes close to marshes or ponds. There are no developed campsites or services along Trail 379. Travelers will not find water sources, toilets, or trash disposal facilities along the route, and cell reception may be weak or unavailable. Dispersed camping is generally permitted in the Superior National Forest outside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
