Overview

The Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails are located primarily within the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area and two trails, Cruser’s Kettle and Cuyuna Connector, are located mostly on county land. The main parking areas and trailheads are: Miners Mountain Rally Center near Ironton, the Sagamore Unit Rally Center near Riverton, the Yawkey Unit parking area located just north of Crosby off hwy 6, and the West Mahnomen parking area off county road 128. Each of these parking areas require a daily or annual Mn State Park parking permit. Free parking options include the Riverton Trailhead on the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail (county 128 and Rowe Road) or the Croft Mine parking area located at the start of the road leading to the Yawkey Unit off hwy 6 north of Crosby. Cruser’s Kettle also offers a free parking trailhead on Iron Hub road an half mile east of the city of Cuyuna.

Weather Policy

Trails are open for the summer season. Trails are closed when rain is falling and open back up again an hour or two after the rain stops in most cases. Cruser’s Kettle trail is an exception to the normal rules because it is natural soil and takes longer to dry out. Allow 24 hours after any heavy or significant rain events before riding the Kettle.
