Wilton Trails NW
Wilton Trails Northwest begins west of Bemidji and travels 33 miles northwest through the towns of Wilton and Pinewood. The old Soo Line railroad grade serves as the trail system backbone with smaller looping trails diverging from it. Trailhead locations are at the south parking lot at Northland Regional Sports Park and at “Pete’s Place West” in Wilton. These locations provide parking and access to the trail system.
Because these trails are multiple-use, courtesy and respect amongst users will make the recreational experience more enjoyable for everyone. Pay attention to signs, stay to the right, and pass cautiously on the left. Yield to non-motorized trail users and stop and shut off vehicles when meeting horseback riders. Wait until the horse and rider have passed or have waved to proceed. Obey rules and regulations pertaining to ATV and OHM operation. Common courtesy helps keep the trails safe for everyone.
