State trails

Minnesota has an extensive trail system where people can hike, bike, snowmobile and ski. Some state trails log more than 100,000 user hours each summer (and this map does not include the hundreds of miles of local trails). The state's major trail systems fall into three categories. First, the more than 1,000 miles of designated state trails that are maintained by the state and are generally long-haul trails (the longest is the Taconite State Trail at 163 miles). Hikers and bikers use these trails in the summer, while in the winter some of them double as cross-country ski trails and snowmobile trails. Scond, the 1,000 miles of recreational motor vehicle (RMV) trails (for all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and off-road vehicles) and third, 20,000 miles of snowmobile trails which give enthusiasts safe places to enjoy riding.
