Eighty-eight miles of non-motorized
trails pass through some of the best grouse
habitat on the Chippewa National Forest.
These areas move through small, well-distributed
timber stands and openings to provide
the different aged forest habitat on which
many game animals thrive. The trails are
mowed periodically to help maintain vegetation
and food sources utilized by wildlife
during the fall season. In addition
to offering excellent grouse and deer
hunting opportunities, these trails also
provide excellent hiking, cross-country
skiing and wildlife viewing opportunities
throughout the year.
