Question: Which popular Minnesota sport lets you enjoy the thrill of speed and the beauty of nature at the same time?
Answer: Snowmobiling, of course. Did you know that Minnesota has 23,000 miles of snowmobile trails to travel?
Lottery proceeds, distributed through the Natural Resources Fund, have helped grow these trails so this sport can be enjoyed by Minnesotans all across the state.
Minnesota’s extensive state park and trail system is the second oldest in the country, with our first state parks dating back to the late 1800s. Minnesota currently boasts 75 state parks and 23 state trails across the state.
Here are just six great snowmobiling options. Check out the these and other locations on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website:
1. CJ Ramstead North Shore State Trail
146 miles from Duluth to Grand Marais, with access to some of the most rugged and beautiful scenery in Minnesota
2. Taconite State Trail
Winds through forests of birch, aspen and pine and beside isolated lakes and streams along 165 miles from Grand Rapids to Ely
3. Paul Bunyan State Trail
