DNR Seeks Input On New ATV Trail In Beltrami County

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites public review and written comments on a proposal by Beltrami County to obtain grant-in-aid funding for additions to an all-terrain vehicle trail system.

The new trail, known as the Timber Trail, will provide a 128-mile ATV trail system. The trail will follow existing township and county roads, an existing ATV trail (the Blue Ox Trail), highway ditch, and a new small connection trail. The trail will be maintained by Beltrami County and the Timber Riders ATV Club.

The DNR will accept written comments until 4:30 p.m. April 16. Comments may be submitted:

• Via email to [email protected].
• Via mail to Dave Schotzko, area supervisor, Parks and Trails Division, Minnesota DNR, 3296 State Park Road NE, Bemidji, MN 56601.

A map of the proposed trail segments can be found at https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/input/mgmtplans/ohv/plans/timber-riders-sections-map.pdf.
