I found that link on the MN DNR trails site and was wondering if you or anyone you knew submitted a proposal or know anything else about it? Lets hope it turns out and hopefully connects with some existing trails. It's about time this state started giving people a descent trail to ride!!

I'm not sure if anyone submitted a proposal but a club nearby was considering it. Here is an email I recieved awhile back on the subject:

Clubs and Regional Directors:
See the DNR press release below. This is a great opportunity for clubs to get trails on the ground, working with your regional DNR offices and our Regional Directors as well as using GIA and working with your local communities on this request. There may be more than one 70 mile trail proposal submitted. It would benefit us if the DNR had more than one to choose from. Here is a link with the deadline and requirement info http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/outdoor_activities/ohv/70mitrail.pdf for email below.

DNR seeking ATV trail building partners (2005-02-15) The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is actively seeking help in siting a new 70-mile all-terrain vehicle/off-highway motorcycle (ATV/OHM) trail somewhere in the state.

The DNR is responding to a 2003 Legislative directive to "plan, design, map and construct" a new trail, specifically designed for ATV/OHM use, on a mix of state and county lands.

Interested counties, acting singly or in combination, are encouraged by DNR officials to respond to request for proposals, which appeared in the state register on Feb. 14.

"Counties have long played an important role in providing for off-highway vehicle recreation," said Tim Browning, a spokesperson with the DNR Division of Trails and Waterways.

"All reasonable proposals will be considered as the DNR moves forward with this project."

The trail is to be of a continuous loop design and feature links to other off-road trails, rest areas and at least two trailheads, complete with parking and vehicle off-loading facilities. The trail must be completed and ready to ride by 2007.

Browning believes this trail project provides an excellent opportunity for public land managers to work together to provide "a unique recreation opportunity for Minnesota's fast-growing population of off-road riders."

For more information or for a copy of the request for proposals, contact Tim Browning at (218) 833-8713 or by e-mail at tim.browning@dnr.state.mn.us. Copies of the solicitation are also posted on the DNR Web site at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us.
