The Chippewa National Forest makes maps available for most of their hiking trails, ranging from .5 to 68 miles.
Some trails are known for their eagle viewing, others are self-guided nature tours.
In addition to offering excellent fall grouse and deer hunting opportunities, these trails also provide excellent hiking, cross-country skiing and wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the year. Near Bemidji and Itasca State Parks have their own trail systems and you can even walk across the mighty Mississippi River at its source in Itasca State Park.
