About Heartland State Trail

The Heartland State Trail is a multi-use recreational rail trail in north-central Minnesota, United States. The main trail runs 49 miles (79 km) between Park Rapids and Cass Lake, intersecting with the Paul Bunyan State Trail around Walker. Both the Park Rapids to Walker and Walker to Cass Lake segments are paved; the Park Rapids to Walker segment also has a parallel natural-surface trail for horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking. A 4-mile (6.4 km) segment north of Walker has sharply rolling terrain for snowmobiles; DNR maps show a marked alternate route on paved road shoulders for bicyclists.
