Trails in Breezy Point Area?


Jaypo

Recommended Posts

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

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
