Roseau, MN is centrally located to hundreds of miles of trails and with us as home-base for your snowmobile trip, you can spend one day riding to the Northwest Angle and the next 2 or 3 days hitting the groomed nearby trials. Whatever you do, you’ll be planning to come back year after year. The time is now.

DAY TRIP

Ideas

As Edgar Hetteen said: “Snowmobiling can almost be a religious experience”.

    RIDE TO LOST RIVER STATE FOREST...

    where you can ride the “EDA 1” trail named after the founders of snowmobiling: Edgar Hetteen, David Johnson, and Allan Hetteen. This trail is where they used the first snowmobiles in 1956 and 1957.

ATV TRAILS

Find nearly 1,000 acres of greenway along the Roseau River Flood Diversion project. This area provides a natural area for plants and wildlife as well as recreation. One feature of the greenway is a 4.5 mile paved non-motorized recreational trail running the full length of the Diversion, starting at the Roseau City Park. Additionally, there are designated ATV trails and an ATV terrain park incorporated into the greenway space. Another feature constructed by a local bike club is nearly 13 miles of single track mountain bike trails in and around large spoils piles from the diversion construction, dubbed Mt. Roseau.
