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 much like the Blue Ox trails 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 selected trails and do not go trailblazing, as this is bad for the conservation of the land. Every so often, certain trails are closed and others opened for riding ATVs so the used trails will have a chance to recoup themselves and all the forest area to preserve most of its natural vegetation even though it is in constant use. The riding season is May through November and there are approximately 60-miles of ATV trails to enjoy.
In addition, 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 jersey and pants; long sleeves and long pants are a must as a branch or piece of rock traveling at a high speed can really sting if your arms or legs are exposed.
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 level, almost road like, with very few difficulties.
If you see a blue square, you are about to encounter more complex 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 and the maneuvering skill needed to overcome them.
