Bicycle the Mesabi Trail in Minnesota
The Mesabi Trail is a 265 km paved trail that cuts through forests, past lakes, creeks and ponds, and connects 28 communities running east from Grand Rapids Mn. It is not a rail trail, so can be hilly in sections.
Check out the trail: https://mesabitrail.com/
We plan to have base camp and ride different sections of the trail each day, returning to the base each night, so we don’t need to carry a lot of luggage. Also, people can choose to ride shorter or longer distances each day.
Accommodations can include camping, cabins, or hotels. I’m waiting for information about a resort on the shores of a lake near Grand Rapids that has camping as well as three cabins.
For more information and to indicate an interest, contact Judy Bartel—204-720-7892 or judy.bartel@gmail.com
