 Snowmobilers
love the Grand Rapids area - and it's no surprise. As the start
of the famed Taconite Trail and the home to over 1,000 miles of
groomed trails within our county borders, we have been a snowmobiler's
favorite for decades. If the wooded trails aren't enough, Itasca
County also has over 1,000 area lakes for your riding and winter
fishing enjoyment.
The
Grand Rapids area is blessed with public lands and mixed pine and
hardwood forests. Along the trails you are likely to see an abundance
of wildlife and scenic vistas. White tail deer and owls are common
sights in this area.
Our
famous Taconite Trail is a beautiful 147 mile long trail past many
of the Iron Range towns from Grand Rapids to Ely. The wide variety
of club trails that intersect the Taconite Trail offer many different
loop options for new adventures each day of your Grand Rapids vacation.
Excellent
Grooming
13
area snowmobile clubs work hard to keep our trails in top condition,
as do our local county and state trail groomers. You won't find
a more dedicated and fun-loving group of people. Be sure to stop
in at an area clubhouse for a break and meet some new friends.
