Open year-round to OHV use, this area features numerous ATV trails in a scenic pine, maple, birch and aspen forest. There are numerous staging areas making it fairly easy to access different parts of the trail system. Trails are mostly hardpacked with some sandy and rocky sections. The nearby Gandy Dancer ATV Trail winds near the eastern side of the forest near the St. Croix River. Primitive camping opportunities can be found at the nearby Boulder Campground.

Tubing Down the River!
What do you do after an epic day of deep woods trail riding? We suggest a lazy float down the St. Croix River. The nearby St. Croix Haven Campground offers inner tubes and shuttle service for just $8. Fill a cooler with your favorite beverages and snacks and the whole family can enjoy a splash, sunbath, and picnic on this shallow river to round out the weekend.
