The following is information from the MN State DNR Office. 

Please visit their site for additional information.

The Stompin Grounds Lodge encourages all legal recreation within the forest.  Please remember to keep our forest clean and be safe using it.

SNOWMOBILING

Experience the joy of snowmobiling by getting out with friends and family on Minnesota's vast trail network made up of 22,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

Over 21,000 miles are maintained by local snowmobile club volunteers.

Always check trail availability before you go! Get snow and trail conditions here, and it's a good idea to call the trail contact as well.

Please ride safely, and remember to check your sled for current registration. If you need one, please visit the State of MN DNR Website to purchase.

**HIKING

• From long treks along the rugged coast of Lake Superior, to wandering the open spaces of the Minnesota River Prairie, you'll find plenty of hiking opportunities in Minnesota's state forests, parks, SNAs, WMAs, and trails. 

• Check out these hiking safety tips, and read up on deer ticks and poison ivy before you go.
