This 4-wheeler trail has a couple of different difficulty levels but provides a good 4-wheeler ride for new and experienced riders alike. This 4-wheeler riding area takes it name from the Paul Bunyan legends, and the trail is located on the outskirts of the Paul Bunyan State Forest in Minnesota.
These 4-wheeler 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 4-wheelers 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 4-wheeler. You must wear a DOT approved helmet, goggles and if you don't have an 4-wheeler 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 4-wheeler trail is low and these trails are rated easy as the trails are flat, almost road like, with very few obstacles.
If you see a blue square, you are about to encounter more difficult trails on your 4-wheeler ride, which includes narrower trails, steep hills and switchbacks and the occasional obstacle. More experienced 4-wheeler riders will thoroughly enjoy these trails. The riding season is May through November and there are approximately 60-miles of 4-wheeler trails to enjoy.
