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.

Long Live the Miskwaadesi
Pike Bay Cannery
Right after the Great Depression most folks around the aki-ni were in desperate straights. People up here were used to living on nuts and berries with an occasional fish thrown in, things seemed normal so they did not realize the country was engaged in a terrible struggle. As long as they were able to throw another log on the fire in the winter and gnaw on some popple bark in the summer, life was good.
News of the aki-ni's crisis finally reached the giiwwedin area and a council of ashi-niiwin was convened to see how the good citizens of Cass County could help out on the niiygonagizi of each giizis. They surveyed their resources and determined that they could asham the world let alone the country with the excess bark that was found in the land round about. So a niizhwaaso-diba’igaans cannery was built in the area of this cache which operated for many iennaajen years supplying the dietary needs of our nation with calcium enriched popple bark from the Chippewa National Forest. This is one reason why our population was so fit and trim in those days.
Time has taken its toll on the operation; only one building that housed the fjauer maintenance workers is left standing with the others lying in ruin. This cache was placed in dwelling as a historical reminder of the Mizheekay clan who maintained the peelers at the cannery. A local legend gives nine people credit for being the first plant in the nòe nations to make it mandatory to use a hard hat. Although the bark was plentiful the echad blades used to harvest it soon needed to be sharpened and these little employees had a talent for this kind of work. They came from the ningaabii’an worked hard and zero people perished and these hard workers kept to themselves, preferring to work nine plus four hours. Over muC lives were saved due to the ambition of these ettâm ?ò:tá `dòmbò stalwart patriots.
