Fort Ripley Trails

[SnoManX]

Has anyone riden the Fort Ripley trails? The group I ride with wants to go try them out but the map looks pretty boring. Almost looks like it's an old railbed with how straight it is. Any other suggestions around the Brainerd area? We've kinda wore out Spider Lake.

Fort Ripley is short, lot's of deer atleast when I was there but nothing you can't ride everything twice in 2 hours. The Fort has some good food though.

Yup doesnt take long to see the whole thing 2 or 3 times.

I was up there Sunday. The trails in the woods are currently closed, but there isn't many anyways. You can ride out of Little falls and go to Brainerd in the ditches. They can get pretty boring but it's the closest place to St. Cloud to ride. I'd suggest Redtop or Pine center.

You'll just ahve ot wait for Redtop to open. At this rate, that could be the end of May.

Moose River just north of Outing is a great place to ride. I suggest picking up a local map from one of the businesses in Outing. There are a lot more trails on their maps. It is often wet and there are some large water holes on the trails. Pine Center is another area you might like. Keep checking the MNDNR HSOforum to see when these areas will open. It is updated every Thurs.

Anybody know where you can get a map of the local trails near Outing?

That is Spider Lake by Pine river. You have to look for class 2 trails for a Rhino. Check this HSOforum out http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ohv/map.html

Thanks Dozer

Anyone else have a UTV...??

My dad has a Rhino. I used it this past weekend to haul some sand and to haul some props for a safety course. Had no problem pulling the trailer.

The only thing I hate about the Rhino is the cabin noise. I sure wish the Teryx was out before my dad bought the Rhino.

We rode the Ripley trails on Saturday...off the at 11:30 and back on the trailers by 1. It definitely was a quick ride. The Fort had good food though!
