A very large wonderful, maintained trail system with trails of all difficulties. It is worth a trip to ride these trails!

Absolutely fantastic trail system. I love riding Copper Harbor but it's a lot of driving from Twin Cities. Now, with Cuyuna only 2 hours away, I have one more favorite place to go. Great flow, not many climbing, and lots of fun and some technical sections which are still avoidable for beginners. Simply best Minnesota trails I've ridden so far.

These trails have a very natural feel to them, the trails and obstacles around the metro area feel very artificial and most that I've ridden are next to swamps or very small ponds. Cuyuna is very hilly with great flow and many lake views. Camping is available.

Amazing fun and fast flowing trail. This trail has something for everyone from beginners to experts. More experience bikers need to check out Timber Shaft skills park.

This trail is so much fun. Make sure to get a map as there are no trail names posted, it can be slightly confusing once out on the trail if you are trying to hit certain trails. If not, just keep riding! Lots of awesome features to this trail, with a mix of everything.

Awesome trail: super fun and scenic. There are plenty of very-technical options for expert riders, but they can be easily avoided, for novices.

Tough up hills with a great payoff on the way down.

Minnesota's newest "destination" mountain bike trail. Trail system is built on old iron mines. A totally awesome trail system with something for everyone. There are dirt roads and paved trails for the less adventures. For the rest there is fun flowing ST, fast flowing ST, lots of fast flowing high bermed down hill runs, huge rollers allowing one to catch so much air you start reaching for the ripcord, and this is only the Huntington Mine Lake/ Mahnomen Unit area. While there are some technical areas here, head over to Yawkey for some advanced and super technical trails, even Hans Rey had a foot dab his first time through. This is a great weekend getaway. Trails have the support of the local communities of Ironton and Crosby. Portsmouth Campground has 25 first come first serve spaces, and is in the middle of the trails. It's a guaranteed blast, so don't spend any more time reading just go ride. More Info http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_trails/cuyuna_lakes/mtnbiking.html

I think this trail is the definition of "flow". And if you want the technical stuff, that's there too. A great trail for everyone, beginners can take it easy and experts can get some speed and air it out. The trail is right in a small town and there is a campsite on the trail.

An absolute blast to ride. Cannot believe how much effort went into making these trails. Trails for every experience level. Climbs, downhills, flats, beautiful scenery. Great town nearby with a supportive bike shop. Worth the drive for anyone who enjoys great mountain biking. Camping spots available.
