OHV Trail Detail

Located along the Wisconsin border, this 26-mile trail offers a scenic ride through heavily wooded forest. There's easy access to the Gandy Dancer Trail, allowing for even more riding miles. The St. Croix State Forest is classified as LIMITED. Kiosk with emergency information can be found at the parking lot at the Grace Lake-Tamarack intersection. These trails are provided by Pine County and maintained by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Winter Use: Forest OHV open to winter ATV riding, including groomed snowmobile trails for shared snowmobile and ATV use as mapped and signed. The Matthew Lourey State Trail (MLST) within the forest is open to ATVs in winter from Pine County Road 173 in St. Croix State Forest north.

Roads and trails open to OHV use as signed. Groomed trails are only open to shared use by snowmobile and ATV riders.

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.

There are no plowed parking lots.
