FS 2213

Trail Overview

This trail is long and wide, made up mostly of well-maintained gravel, and passes through a mix of open fields, wooded areas, and rural homesteads. While the route is generally straight, there are a few twists and turns, along with gentle ascents and descents. The forested sections provide welcome shade and make the drive especially pleasant on warm days. Wildlife is often present along the trail, so it's worth staying alert as you travel. There are no formal or dispersed campsites available, and the trail lacks basic amenities such as water and trash disposal. Cell service is limited, so checking coverage on your onX app before setting out 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.
