This ATV trail has a couple of different difficulty levels but provides a good ATV ride for new and experienced riders alike. This ATV riding area takes it name from the Paul Bunyan legends, and the trail is located on the outskirts of the Paul Bunyan State Forest.
These ATV trails are well maintained and well marked, and as all forest service managed lands, they ask that you stay on the designated trails and do not go trailblazing as this is bad for the preservation of the land. Periodically, certain trails are closed and others opened for riding ATVs so the used trails will have a chance to reclaim themselves and all the forest area to retain most of its natural vegetation even though it is in constant use.
Additionally, safety gear is a rule on these lands when riding your ATV. You must wear a DOT approved helmet, goggles and if you don't have an ATV riding suit, long sleeves and long pants are a must.
You will see a green circle marking many of the trails, that indicates the level of skill needed to navigate this section of ATV trail is low and these trails are rated easy as the trails are flat, almost roadlike, with very few obstacles.
If you see a blue square, you are about to encounter more difficult trails on your ATV ride, which includes narrower trails, steep hills and switchbacks and the occasional obstacle. More experienced ATVers will thoroughly enjoy these trails.
The riding season is May through November and there are approximately 60-miles of ATV trails to enjoy.
