The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites the public to review and respond to proposals for future off-highway vehicle (OHV) and grant-in-aid (GIA) trails.
- Minnesota state forest trail planning
- The DNR is considering a number of measures to improve state forest trail sustainability and enhance user experiences for both motorized and non-motorized trail users. The trail system changes will not include changing forest-wide motor vehicle use classifications.
The following proposals for OHV trails have already completed a public review period. The deadline for comments has passed.
- City of Roseau OHV GIA trail
- The City of Roseau Parks and Recreation Department is requesting GIA funding for a 10.4 mile trail system. The proposed route would connect to the Great Northern Connection Veterans Memorial Trail, which links Roseau and Warroad.
- City of Wolf Lake OHV GIA trail
- The city of Wolf Lake is proposing a six mile ATV trail, including a three mile segment along both sides of the Highway 38 treadway in Becker County. The trail would connect the city to existing OHV trails in Smoky Hills State Forest.
- Chisholm Easterly OHV GIA trail
- This four mile proposed route in St. Louis County is designed to direct ATV traffic east of the Dunwoody Pit, reducing overlap with mountain biking trails near the Redhead system. The route is already open to ATV use but is not currently enrolled in the GIA program.
- Moose River Connector OHV GIA trail
- This proposal includes 10.1 miles of trail connecting the North Soo Line near the Moose River Connector by Shovel Lake to Hill City. The proposed trail would utilize pre-existing forest roads, county roads and OHV trails, and crosses lands managed by the Aitkin County Land Department and the State of Minnesota.
- AlanDale off-highway motorcycle (OHM) GIA trail
- Kanabec County and the Norsemen Motorcycle Club are requesting GIA funding for the AlanDale OHM trail system. The proposed 23.9 mile trail includes 4.7 miles of existing OHV trail not currently in the GIA program and 19.2 miles of new trail across public lands in Kanabec and Aitkin counties.
