This section of trail had been closed due to flooding in the past, and then became part of lands under the US Fish and Wildlife Service. After hearing from sportsmen about the need to reconnect the trails, I worked to facilitate a land exchange between the DNR and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to connect the two State Forest roads. We had a wonderful time celebrating the official opening of the trail section with local clubs. After cutting the ribbon we gathered for lunch and rode the trail on both Polaris and Arctic Cat vehicles. It was a great day for all, and I am pleased we could find a resolution for the area sportsmen and women that use our natural resources in Minnesota. Creating trail access is important for the many sportsmen throughout the region. Snowmobiling and off-road riding are economic drivers in rural Minnesota, and we must insure local sportsmen have access to their local natural resources. In addition to riders from other parts of the State, the two sportsman's clubs have over 400 local members all together. Congressman Collin Peterson speaks to the crowd.
