The Paul Bunyan Trail is the longest MN
Bike trail in Minnesota at 110-miles, and it connects the
Heartland Trail, the
Blue Ox Trail and the
Cuyuna State Trail.
As of Fall 2009, over 90 miles of the Paul Bunyan Trail are paved.
The portion of the trail from Guthrie south through Laporte toward
Walker was originally on the Fall 2009 paving agenda. Due to the
inclement fall weather, paving of this approximately 19 mile
section, has been rescheduled for Spring of 2010. When these 19
miles are paved, the Paul Bunyan Trail will yield a continuously
paved trail from Brainerd MN to
Bemidji Minnesota. Another paving project in Brainerd and Baxter now provides paved
trail access to the
Crow Wing State Park. Upon completion of this segment, all 110 miles
of the Paul Bunyan Trail will be paved. These Minnesota Bike Trails offer all
kinds of exciting outdoor adventures including biking, hiking, and
roller-blading. There some areas available for bike-in camping
and rental bicycles are available at many of the
15 connecting towns.
The terrain of the Paul Bunyan Trail ranges from flat and open to
hilly and scenic. Along the 100 miles of trail there are many
areas to stop and rest and enjoy the beauty of nature in Northern
Minnesota. Hey, bring along your swimming suit and take a dip
in any of the numerous lakes the the Trail parallels. If you
like to 'rough' it there are many campsites to pitch a tent, but if
you prefer to have a few more human comforts, visit the
resorts
and hotels along the Paul Bunyan Trail.
And when Old Man Winter
blows in, fire up your Polaris snowmobile, your Arctic Cat, or your
Ski Doo and have a real adventure on the Trail. However, please be
aware that studded tracks are not allowed on the Paul Bunyan Trail.
Have Fun, Big Paul |
