Lake Vermilion – Soudan Underground Mine State Park
The park has six miles of snowmobile trail that connects from the Taconite State Trail to the Lake Vermilion ice trail. The ride takes you through old growth pines and young aspen forests with large wetland complexes to view along the way.
You can snowshoe anywhere in Minnesota’s state parks and recreation areas, except on trails that are specifically groomed for another activity, such as skiing or snowmobiling.
Features
- Snowmobilers: winter parking is not available – there’s no space for trailers. Park at the nearest available trailhead and ride into the park.
Always verify trail & ice safety with local sources.
