- Beltrami Island State Forest
State Forest Roads Status: Open
Comments: Roads and trails are currently open to the public. Use caution as beaver flooding issues have arisen on a few of our forest roads. Recent tornado activity along Dicks Parkway and Moose River Roads have been cleaned up. Periodically the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, does right of way spraying to keep growth of trees and brush along the forest road ROW in check. We will be conducting spraying along the Roosevelt, Dicks Parkway, Tangnes, Bemis Hill and Winner Forest Roads in late June, July and August. The areas of focus are ROW areas where brushing has been conducted in the last several years. The spray area will focus within 16 feet of the road edge and a selective herbicide will be used that kills woody deciduous trees and brush. If you have any questions feel free to call the local DNR forestry office.
