Looking for options or advice on using ATVs in Breezy Point area. Are the ditches open for riding and are there any good trails or state land areas that anyone would recommend. Not looking for anything too challenging but hoping to use the wheelers to explore the area.

Thanks!

I don't think Breezy or Crosslake are too atv friendly, at least not in "town", not sure of ditches. But Emily, Fifty LAkes, and especially Outing is very atv friendly. I don't think Manhattan Beech allows atvs either. Sorry no better info than that.

that's the impression I got when I rode in that area too. Not much to offer that felt like you were away from anything private.

The Ben Draper area in the Land-O-Lakes SF above Outing is open year round and is ATV only. But the DNR does close a lot of trails in the spring because they get to wet so you may want to check their site for trail closings before you head up any where. wink

But, if you are going to be up in the Breezy Point area and only want to ride around close to there. You can take Co Rd 11 right out of the front gate at Breezy and take it North all the way around the top end of the lake and keep going a few miles until you hit Co Rd 3, cross the road and keep going down CO Rd 11 for about another 3-4 miles until you come to a big curve. That whole area north and south of the road is full of short trails around the Flanders Lake area. Have fun! wink

Thank you all for your responses! I was hoping for some state land or other low maintenance road areas where we could ride some. Will definately be looking around by Fifty Lakes and Emily for trails.

Be sure they're not private property trails. I'm not familiar with the area so I cannot comment on the trails leech mentioned.

Ditches in the southern 2/3 of the state are closed now. I noticed a lot of tracks in ditches yesterday on my way home from work and some that were also on the snowmobile trails.

The areas that I talked about above are both SF lands. I think you are going to find more trails at the second place around Breezy Point then there are around the Fithy Lakes area though. wink

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
