The ATV trails at the Blue Oxwill thrill even the most experienced ATVer even though this ATV trail is rated on the easy side.
If coming from Northome in Koochiching County look for the Big Falls or the International Falls for all of your parking needs. It is open for all ATVers between April 1 to November 30 depending on the weather - expect snow/ice in the early and late parts of the season.
This is an impressive ATV trail in that it is 64 miles of abandoned railroad grade that narrows at the top and sometimes this ATV trail, is only slightly above the surrounding ground level of the land. There is vast areas of black spruce swamps and upland aspen stands. Any ATVer will find the ride very scenic during any season. While out ATVing, you will come across some major towns and rivers that will cross your path. If you happen to be driving your ATV during the early morning hours or late afternoon, you will probably see a number of local wildlife residents watching you and your ATV roll by.
The length of this ATV trail is long, so packing a lunch with some water would be a good idea. Also making sure your ATV is in top running order, along with a tire check, should be on your list of things to do, before your big ATV run. Don't forget to wear a helmet with your gloves, goggles and boots. Watch out for flying debris from other ATVers that might get kicked up.
Always let someone know where you are going and about when you will return. With this ATV trail being so big, taking a cell phone or some walkie talkies, might be a good idea. If you have GPS, even better!
The sport of ATVing can be lots of fun, just stay alert, use your common sense and the thrill of the ATV ride will be awesome indeed.
