General Information
Directions:
The Isabella Work Station (part of the Tofte Ranger District) is located on MN Hwy 1 on the western side of the small town of Isabella. From Duluth, drive northeast on MN Hwy 61, then turn right at MN Hwy 1, just past Silver Bay. Isabella is approximately 82 miles, or one and three quarter hours, from Duluth. Note that there is no gas available in Isabella.
Isabella almost always has snow in the winter, usually more than along the North Shore. There are several good groomed XC skiing areas, but don't forget the backcountry when it comes to skiing and snowshoeing. After all, these were activities that were developed without trails. Just be a safe explorer, know where you are and let others know where you went.
