The Soo Line North Trail travels for 113 miles through forest and bog between Moose Lake in the south and Cass Lake in the north. The trail, which is popular with ATVs in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter, runs through Hill River State Forest, Bowstring State Forest and Chippewa National Forest. This trail is largely dirt and gravel and can be rough in sections for some trail users.
The Soo Line North Trail connects with the 114-mile Soo Line South Trail at Moose Lake.
You can park and access the trail at several places:
Cass Lake - park along trail
Lawler - parking lot along trail; toilets, picnic tables
McGreggor - park along street
Palisade - park in town or at the county park; camping, picnic, toilets
Swatara - park adjacent to trail; picnic, toilets
Shovel Lake - park adjacent to trail; toilet, warming shed
Remer - park adjacent to trail
Moose Lake - Moose Lake Depot historical museum
We hopped onto the trail in McGregor and we’re very disappointed with the trail. It’s a mixture of large rocks and sandy soil. Probably better for all terrain vehicles and snow mobiles, not suitable for bikes.
