FS 2208

Trail Overview

This trail consists of relatively well-maintained dirt that winds through forested areas and passes a few homesteads along the way. It is mostly smooth, though some sections are corrugated. The width of the trail varies, narrowing in places and then opening up again, creating a bit of variety along the drive. It is a scenic route, but drivers should be mindful of local traffic that may be using the same road. There are no formal or dispersed campsites available along this trail, and it does not offer amenities such as water or trash disposal. Cell service is limited, so it is advisable to consult your onX app for coverage details.

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.
