The Department of Natural Resources has rejected the latest plea from a citizens group to formally review alleged environmental threats from a proposed 764-mile back-roads driving route that the agency intends to open across northern Minnesota for four-wheel drive owners.

The group Citizens for Sustainable Off-Roading foresees harmful sediment getting splattered into fragile trout streams; vehicles sparking forest fires; rare species suffering from environmental damage; vehicles spewing air and noise pollution; the spread of invasive species; and an intensified level of motorized intrusions upon bird-watchers, hunters, sightseers and other low-impact recreational users of the roads. ....

Questions raised about Border-to-Border OHV trail


Greg Aamott
REGIONAL Six years ago, the Legislature directed the Department of Natural Resources to develop a motorized touring route from the North Shore of Lake Superior to the North Dakota border, utilizing an extensive network of existing highways and back roads. Tower and Ely are both included along the route.
The idea was to provide a designated route for motorists – including those who prefer off-road vehicles like four-wheel drive trucks and all-terrain vehicles – who could drive across northern Minnesota, experience the state’s natural beauty and, perhaps, camp and stop in some small towns along the way.
“Definitely, one of the selling points was that (the route) would connect people to places they wouldn’t ordinarily see, to some other outdoors opportunities,” said Andrew Brown, a DNR project manager based in Grand Rapids. ....
