Trail Description

 

The Chengwatana ATV Trail system is located in the Chengwatana State Forest. This trail system is just East of Pine City, and less than two hours North of the Twin Cities.

 

This trail is only approximately 15 miles in length, but with its close location to the Twin Cities, offers great opportunities to get away for a nice day trip. This trail also takes full advantage of the 15 miles by offering different types of terrain as you go.

 

While the terrain changes between water holes, smooth gravel, and rougher terrain, it can be a great trip for riders of most experience levels. This trail system is easy enough for newer riders to enjoy, but also has enough variety for even the more experienced rider to enjoy themselves.
