OHV Trail Detail

This 159-mile trail shares road shoulders and rights-of-way to make a scenic tour through Bowstring State Forest and the Chippewa National Forest, connecting to the Island Lake Connection Trail and the Blue Ox Trail. Ride through aspen and pine forests, past lakes and streams and along the longest ATV trail boardwalk in Itasca County.

Note: There are no toilets anywhere along this trail at any time of year - plan accordingly. This trail is provided by Itasca County and maintained by the Alvwood-Squaw Lake ATV Club.

Winter use: The trail is open to winter ATV riding until March 15. ATVs are not allowed on groomed snowmobile trails after December 1. In winter, most of the trail is on plowed roads that are shared with road vehicles, but any ungroomed sections are open for shared usage. The segment on County Road 149 just east of Squaw Lake runs parallel for half a mile with the Avenue of the Pines Snowmobile Trail. ATVs are on the county road and the snowmobiles are in the ditch on the south side of the road.
