HIKING, HUNTING, WALKING TRAILS

Hikers and walkers in the Hide Out Resort area can tramp through the big woods, stroll down a backwoods lane, walk around lakes and even hike around a lake within a lake on Star Island.

The Chippewa National Forest makes maps available for most of their hiking trails, ranging from .5 to 68 miles. Some trails are known for their eagle viewing, others are self-guided nature tours.

Seventy-eight miles of non-motorized trails pass through some of the best grouse habitat in the Forest.

In addition to offering excellent fall grouse and deer hunting opportunities, these trails also provide excellent hiking, cross-country skiing and wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the year.

Nearby Bemidji and Itasca State Parks have their own trail systems and you can even walk across the  mighty Mississippi River at its source in Itasca State Park.
