Trail Overview

This trail winds through the woods on a mostly dirt base, offering an easygoing route for those looking to enjoy the scenery without tackling major obstacles. It parallels some of the more challenging sections of the Lone Pine Rock Crawl Trail, giving you a front-row seat to watch others take on serious rock obstacles while you stick to the smoother path. The trail is wide enough for most vehicles and remains relatively simple throughout. After recent rain, mud puddles may form in low-lying areas, adding a little variation to the drive. It's a great option for beginners or those just looking to spectate.

History

The Iron Range OHV Recreation Area was built on reclaimed mining land, once part of the rich Mesabi Iron Range that fueled U.S. steel production for over a century. Today, this 1,200+ acre site blends industrial history with outdoor adventure, offering a rare chance to ride through the remnants of Minnesota's mining legacy.
