The Itasca County
area offers thousands of acres of federal,
state, county and industrial forest land that
are open to off-highway vehicle riding, but very
few designated trails exist. Forest or
logging roads are an excellent choice for ATV/OHV
use. Each municipality or level of
government has a different management plan that
governs off-highway vehicle use on their lands.
Please check with those governing bodies and
know the rules for the type of land you are
riding on. Not all classifications of
forest roads are open to traffic so be sure to
know the rules before you travel.
Most snowmobile
trails are not designated for ATV or other
off-highway vehicle use. Many snowmobile
trails cross private property under a
conditional use easement that is specific to
winter travel, other snowmobile trails cross
swampland that is not designated for ATV or
off-highway vehicle use.
A sincere effort is
being made to develop a comprehensive map of
off-road riding opportunities and create more
designated trails.
