ATV Park in Gilbert, MN


I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been very busy touring this great state of our. Two weeks ago, I went 4-wheeling in Gilbert, MN. For those of you who are unversed in small-town Minnesota, Gilbert is located about two miles northeast of Eveleth and 3 miles southeast of Virginia, right off of Highway 53. There is a campground located within the Gilbert city limits, right on the shores of Lake Orebegone, and from there you can ride your ATV directly to the park. The ATV park allows access to 4-wheelers, off-road motorcycles, and other off-road vehicles like jeeps. Trails are clearly marked, and are classified as either easy, intermediate or difficult. The park is situated in and old iron mine, so there is red mud everywhere. If you go, plan to ride on steep slopes, surrounded by lakes and woods. I would recommend that you wear clothing you never want to wear again, and drink plenty of water. For more information about the trails, camping, OHV allowed, etc..., check out this website.
