DNR plans ATV touring trail from North Shore to North Dakota
(KMSP) - The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is planning a 400-mile ATV trail that will stretch from the North Shore to the North Dakota border.
The proposed route for the Border to Border Off-Road Vehicle Trail, also known as the B2B trail, will link existing state and national forest roads, township roads and minimum maintenance roads that any off-road vehicle can use.
DNR officials believe the trail has the potential to attract tourists to northern Minnesota.
The trail is still in the planning stages and no timeline for its construction has been released. According to a news release, DNR officials are hoping to hold a series of public fact-finding meetings along the proposed route to gather input and ideas.
The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council and the Minnesota Four Wheel Drive Association are also contributing to the project.
