Migizi Trail Overview
Location: Cass Lake: Distance: 9 paved miles
Description: This Chippewa National Forest trail forms a wide horseshoe around three sides of Pike Bay. There’s a trail parking area on the east side of the town of Cass Lake. From here, the trail follows Highway 2 for 2.5 miles on the north side of the bay before turning south into a forest of tall pines. Since the trail doesn’t follow an old railroad bed, there are rolling hills and curves along the way. At the trail’s end, follow a bike lane along a county road for a half-mile to the Heartland Trail, and bike the Heartland north for about three miles back to Cass Lake. A bike route in town will take you back to the Migizi parking lot. There is also a good forest road that runs along side the trail so it can be walked, biked, or driven. Altogether, this forms a loop of 14 miles. Migizi is the Ojibwe word for “eagle,” and there’s a good chance of seeing one soaring above the trail.
Heartland Bike Trail
The Heartland State Trail is a 49 mile, multiple-use trail between Park Rapids and Cass Lake. The 22 mile segment between Cass Lake and Walker is paved.
