Default Park Rapids Minnesota Riding

I will be staying near Park Rapids, Minnesota (Long Lake) for over a week and checking in on ride recommendations from any of the locals in the area. Thanks in advance! Ron

Sorry. Riding season has been cancelled in Minnesota and Wisconsin this year.

Just kidding (I hope). What time of year are you going?

Yeah, I should have added that it will be from around June 30 - July 10. Hopefully, winter has given way to summer by June 30. 😂

I’m local to there. Great riding everywhere. 113, 5 from Hackensack to longville, 84 from longville south. Detroit Lakes is only 40 miles away, tons of great riding south of there.

Thanks for the insights! How about north to 1 and east over to 61 along Lake Superior? Ron

thats a good run. Take 38 north out of Grand Rapids to 1, follow to Ely then to 61. Follow 61 north to grand portage. High falls are nice if your into waterfalls.
1 was a little rough in spots the last time I rode it but that was a couple years ago so may be better now.
Return route could be thru Jay Cooke SP on 210.

Nice ride, but that is a 650 mi loop.
