Trail Overview

This is a long trail with a well-maintained, two-vehicle-wide surface that remains generally smooth, though drivers should be cautious of slippery areas and keep an eye out for local traffic. Much of the route passes through residential areas and alongside private property, with Beltrami Island State Forest on one side and a mix of open fields, forest, and the Red Lake Wildlife Management Area on the other. The drive is scenic, offering a variety of landscapes along the way. The trail continues to Rapid River, where the surface becomes bumpier with some scattered rocks. It also connects to Hertz Road, though ATVs are not permitted on Rapid River Road. There are no formal campsites or amenities such as trash disposal or water supply, and cell service may be limited.
