This is a small ATV trail by most standards, but it's worth a trip for the ride. The ATV trail connects the City of Tower to the public beach and campground at McKinley, on Lake Vermilion.
This is a multi-use trail and you will encounter other ATV riders, mountain bikers, and motorcycle riders, be aware and drive defensively. This is a great place for newer ATVers to hone their skills for navigation when other types of traffic are present on the ATV trails as this trail is short and well maintained and the newer ATV rider can concentrate on learning new maneuvering skills on their ATVs.
This trail is open from April 1 - November 30, and only closes due to inclimate weather. Call ahead to the management office to make sure the trail is open if you are planning an ATV ride and see the weather might be a little rough.
This ATV trail is rated as among one of the easiest. There are few hills, few turns and mostly a nice flat surface to ride your ATV on. The trail is well maintained and clearly marked so even the newest of ATV riders can gain confidence and handling skills of their machines.
In the nearby town of Tower there are ample places to obtain food, restroom facilities, gas, and lodging in case you want to make it an overnight stay and get up and explore the ATV trail first thing in the morning.
This is a great ATV trail to let newer ATV riders gain confidence on and seasoned ATVers will enjoy the scenary and the ride and if the weather is great, ride on down by the beach and have a day of fun in the sun!
