Another bear!
The Mesabi Trail starts at the fairgrounds in Grand Rapids, MN. While the trail continues all the way to Ely, traversing 132 miles and connecting 28 communities, I have focused on about 4 miles of the trail. The trail itself is a great paved bike trail that is well-mapped and well-maintained, the Mesabi Trail also makes an interesting walking path.
Partially built on old railroad beds, old logging and mining roads, guests will find a 10 foot wide bituminous surface (asphalt paving). Great for summer activities such as biking, inline skating or walking. Winter snowmobile trail.
