Minnesota might finally have a worthy off-road destination!

I have to say, watching and reading about all the awesome adventures you guys have with your rigs makes a Minnesota man jealous as hell. Sure we have a lot going for us but I think we can all agree that a Jeep destination we are not. However, I just came across this article that could change all of that and damn, we might just be lucky enough to see Moby on the north shore one day🤘

That's awesome. Wish Pa would do something like this. Minnesota is a gorgeous state. Only bad thing is that the trail goes to North Dakota :icon_crazy:

Well, maybe look at it this way. I'm guessing the majority will start at Superior and head west for as far as they want to. I'd rather go against the grain and start on the Fargo side and have Superior and the iron range as my target! I'm not sayin' North Dakota doesn't have anything to offer but damn grow some trees!

Very cool and great to hear you guys will be getting a real and LONG trail instead of just a small off road park! Can't wait to see what it's like :thumb:

The article mentioned and off road vehicle sticker, what is that? Is it just something you have to buy for one reason or other?

Michigan has them it's a use pass for certain areas (dunes/trails). It's a once a year sticker that helps pay for various maintenance and such. It's like 30-40 bucks. I think if you get caught without one they can hit you with decent fines.

x2, lived in Fargo, ND for 5 years, glad to be back in Oregon again. The northern part of MN is very nice though, especially around fall.

Just got more word on this "trail" it's really just going to be a designated scenic route across the state utilizing dirt roads. This is MN's idea of off-roading. Been trying to get out largest off-road park expanded for 10 years at a snail's pace but tons of money will be dumped into this project instead.
