Have any of you guys or gals been on or seen the soo line trails around moose lake my family is planning a trip out that way and was wondering if that is nice riding we wand a long slow ride through some nice country looks real nice on the computer let me know if you could thanks alot guys

 

I personally think it's kinda boring because it's basically a straight railroad grade. For a slow scenic family ride, it would probably be great though.

 

If you want a long, straight, flat ride then the Soo Line is for you, It's an abandoned railroad. (the railroad was called the Soo Line, hence the name) I like snowmobiling on the Soo Line, but I think it's a little boring for an all day ATV ride.

You might want to check out Red Top, which connects to the South Soo Line between Isle and McGrath. It's a bunch of loops that are all connected together rather than one long, straight trail. It also has a pretty good variety of terrain. If you want to camp, it also connects to the Snake River Campground, which is off of Hwy 65 south of McGrath.

You can find info on most of the trails in MN here:

thanks alot for the info if it was me i would rather find something a little more entertaining but we will have my wife and my mother in law with and they would enjoy something easy till they learn how to ride better

 

Don't forget to get non-resident trail passes, new law this year, $21 a head.

 

wow didn't know that thanks alot how would i get these the guy on the phone didn't say anything about those thanks again

If you are up for it check out the Silver Bay trails! best in the state BY FAR for scenic views. I will post some pics from our ride up there last week

 

here is a few pics from up on the silver bay trails about 60 miles north of duluth MN. Plus on the drive up u can stop and see Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Light house. Both are very cool places to visit

 

I agree the soo line is a bore. I wouldn't worry about Red Top and it being to much for a novice. It's not. It has nice, wide trails. I've taken several groups with quite a few first timers and women on it, none had a problem. It's a good place to start.
