Paul Bunyan Trail
|
Today, at 210
miles, the adjoining Paul Bunyan and
Blue Ox (Bemidji to International
Falls, Minnesota) Trails form one of
the longest contiguous railroad bed
conversion trails in the nation. And
one of the most scenic. It is easy
to understand the appeal of the Paul
Bunyan Trail. Its 110 miles wind
around the shores of 21 lakes and
over 9 rivers or streams. Most of
the route snakes through gently
rolling landscape covered in stately
pine forests and populated by an
abundance of diverse flora and
fauna. Towns are situated at
comfortable 8-10 mile intervals,
with state parks at both the north
and south ends of the trail. The
Paul Bunyan Trail intersects with
several planned or existing
connecting trail routes, including a
network of over 2,200 miles of
snowmobile trails that directly
accesses the Canadian border and
Voyageur's National Park.
