Trail Overview

Plantation Loop, which is part of the Moose River Trail system, is 6 miles long and takes about 30 minutes at an average of 12 MPH. Time and distance are only from the Draper Tower Road ATV parking lot to the point you "loop" on the trail. (It is another mile back to the parking lot) If you go to the old Ben Draper Fire Tower trail add another mile but note you can't climb the tower for a view as the steps are removed. The entire Moose River Trail system is within the Land O' Lakes State Forest.
