The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is accepting comments through Sept. 18 on an environmental assessment worksheet for a proposed mountain bike trail development, consisting of two loops, in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area.
The Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew proposes to construct a total of 11.4 miles of recreational trails, consisting of the Cuyuna Connection Trail Loop and the Cuyuna Hills Trail Loop. The trails are designed to be used for non-motorized recreation access including mountain biking, hiking, trail running, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the Cuyuna area.
