Bike Riding

Whether you prefer paved trails, dirt trails, highways or quiet country roads, you have several options in the Minnesota Northwoods.

  • A new paved trail in the Chippewa National Forest meanders along the shoreline and campgrounds. In total, the Forest offers 160 miles of trail for non-motorized use. A four-page handout featuring eighteen different loops and bike routes for the experienced mountain biker as well as the casual touring family are available by calling (218) 335-8600.
  • The 20-mile paved bike trail around Lake Itasca, in the Itasca State Park (sometimes spelled Itaska), near Park Rapids, the source of the Mississippi River, is just minutes from any Minnesota Northwoods location.
  • The 34-mile Heartland Trail provides a paved wooded path from Walker to Park Rapids. It was recently re-paved.
  • The Paul Bunyan Trail is a similar path which stretches from Hackensack to Brainerd.
