OHV Trail Detail

This 30-mile trail along an abandoned railroad grade begins in Danbury, Wis., and travels north through Minnesota before looping back east. Connections to OHV trails in the St. Croix and Nemadji state forests, along with a wide variety of landscapes and terrain, make this trail a popular destination. Camping is available in both the St. Croix and Nemadji State Forests. This trail is maintained by the Minnesota Department of Resources.

Winter Use: Open to snowmobile and ATV riders connecting to shared trails in Wisconsin.

Tips and hints to have a great winter ride and protect trails:

• stay off the groomed trails with wheeled vehicles if temp is above 30F to keep groomed trails in good condition.

• snow depth less than 7 inches then trail is open to OHVs as signed unless posted closed.

• Snow depth greater than 7 inches then trail packing and grooming operations begin. Let the trail set up.

Closed to ORV use once grooming begins.
