South Fowl Road

Trail Overview

South Fowl Road is accessed from Arrowhead Trail and follows a narrow, winding path through forested terrain with moderate ascents and descents. The gravel surface is uneven in places, with visible water erosion, scattered potholes, and standing puddles. Early in the route, the trail passes through a clearing where logging activity has taken place. Continuing on, it leads to a larger open area where, during the summer months, cabin owners often park their vehicles before continuing by ATV or boat to remote cabins located near the Canadian border. Beyond this point, the trail transitions into an ATV route with no space for full-size vehicles to turn around. It is best suited to side-by-sides or other small off-road machines. The area also provides access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness via water, and visitors should be mindful of local traffic. There are no designated or dispersed campsites along the route, and no services such as trash disposal or potable water. Cell phone coverage may be unreliable.
