Arrowhead State Trail

The Arrowhead State Trail follows 135 miles from the Taconite State Trail near Lake Vermilion/Tower/Ely to just south of International Falls.  The multi-purpose trail is known for its winter snowmobiling.  During non-winter months the trail is used for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.  Approximately 69 miles of the trail are suitable for non-snowmobile activities.

During its journey, the Arrowhead travels within 10 miles of the BWCA, within a mile of the Voyageurs National Park and passes through the Sturgeon River State Forest and Kabetogama State Forest.  Adjoining trails include:  Hagerman Trail, Voyageur West Trail, Voyageur Crane Lake Trail, Voyageur Country Trail, Voyageur Trail, Wolf Track Trail, Bearskin Trail, and Taconite Trail.
