8. FS336
The Onion River Road (FS335) leaves Highway 61 about 4 miles east of Tofte. It climbs steeply for the first 2 miles to the trail head serving the Oberg and LeVeaux Hiking Trails. Expect frequent automobile traffic on this stretch. The better riding begins north of this trailhead, as a narrower gravel surface continues in a northeasterly direction for 3 miles, at which point you may turn around or continue on, via a more demanding North Shore Trail.
9. NORTH SHORE TRAIL
This trail (a snowmobile trail in our snowy months) connects the Onion River Road to the Barker Lake Trail, a distance of about 2.5 miles. It is a grassy, dirt and gravel trail that can be soft in places during wet weather and is moderately hilly.
11. POPLAR RIVER TRAIL
This trail runs between Barker Lake Trail and the Lutsen Mountain Ski Area and resorts, a distance of 3 miles. Its surface is firm gravel and grass, except for a short section just north of the bike bridge over the Poplar River which can be soft during wet weather. It provides a popular loop trip from the resorts near the ski area to the Poplar River Bridge (4 miles round trip).
LUTSEN MOUNTAINS BIKE PARK
The Lutsen Mountain Bike Park extends over two mountains and includes 32 miles of marked trails. Terrain varies from casual riding to advanced technical descents. The combination of lift access with single track, works roads, open slopes and ledge rock make this a spectacular riding playground in the Midwest for all skill levels.
