The 2,343 trail miles on the Superior National Forest provides for diverse recreation experiences on public lands. These trails provide access for motorized, non-motorized and wilderness opportunities year-round.
As a priority area forest, the Superior National Forest and its partners are striving to address the backlog of trail maintenance needs.

Highlights:
- In 2021, the North Country Trail Association worked hard to secure the easement for an existing section of the Kekekabic/North Country Trail prior to the private parcel being sold. This important piece of trail will remain intact and accessible to users.
Examples of Trail Maintenance Needs:
- Remove hazard trees and logs over the trail
- Improve and update trail data, including condition, location, and physical attributes
- Conduct general trail maintenance
- Address many user-created routes (social trails)
- Improve community access to public land
