Superior National Forest

has more than 2,000 miles of recreational trails for all types of uses, including off-highway vehicle. It offers incredible riding opportunities in its nearly 450,000 acres of pine, fir and spruce and moose, black bear and grey wolf. Make sure to bring the latest Motor Vehicle Use Maps, which are available in print, as downloads for smart phones or a computer. Maps are updated annually — if there is a question on road/trail access, the map is the final authority, not trail signs. If a road or trail you find in the forest is not on the map, it is not legal for you to ride it, regardless if others have done so. Off-trail travel is not permitted.
