 The
Ely area is northern Minnesota's premier snowmobile hub with numerous
on-trail facilities, accommodations for both large and small groups,
and with plenty of food, entertainment and service centers. The
Taconite Trail is the main thoroughfare in and out of Ely in the
winter. Stretching 170 miles between Ely and Grand Rapids to the
southwest, many spur routes will take you just about anywhere you
want to go. The Tomahawk Trail, heading to the east, has 86 miles
of varied terrain which the avid snowmobiler can use to connect
up with hundreds of miles more of groomed trails.
If
good snowmobiling gets you excited about winter, then try out the
170 mile long Taconite Trail and the 80 mile Tomahawk Trail. The
Taconite Trail, or the "Mighty Taconite" as the locals
call it, runs from Ely to Grand Rapids. It streches across three
state forests and the Superior National Forest. Smooth rides along
this famous route are loaded with history and the Taconite's many
spurs and loops make for some quality modern day pioneering. The
Tomahawk Trail runs from Ely to the North Shore and Yukon Trails.
The trail works closely with natural terrain and is one of the most
scenic trails in the state. The tree cover that surrounds the trail
edges, the lack of traffic and development allows you to have an
unihabited experience.
Many
riders return to the Ely area each winter to enjoy its sheer beauty
and varied terrain. It's a region where people clearly love snowmobiling
and they know how to make you feel welcome. Find out for yourself!
