From the trailhead at the Waboose Public Boat access (located off of Inner Forest Rd north of CR-2 north of Nevis, MN) head in either direction on the white-blazed trail. The loop features some rolling hills with gentle climbs and many views out onto the scenic lake.
The Waboose Lake Loop includes a portion of the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT for short), which continues northwest toward CR-91 and east toward State Hwy 64. The NCT portion of the loop is both blue-blazed and white blazed. A spur trail from the loop leads to the primitive campsite on the end of the peninsula with water access, tent pads, fire ring, and a privy.
On the southeast side of the lake, you'll find an old-growth pine stand. To see it in its full glory, venture out and back a short ways heading southeast on the two-track road. This road leads out to Akeley Cutoff Forest Rd.
North country trail goes through and there are a lot of nice small likes to hike around. A great place to see beaver porcupine and other critters
Lots of ATV trails! We spent hours driving the trails and never got bored.
Martineau Recreational Trails in Paul Bunyan State Forest offer excellent Class I & II ATV trails, plus many miles of forest roads for OHVs, and a bonus of over 90 miles of OHM trails. Be warned that the OHM only trails are for experienced motorcycle riders due to the high level of difficulty in some areas. There is a good full menu and beverage restuarant and campground located on the south side of the forest. Trails also connect to Akeley, MN.
Rating for the 4 wheeling. I think there are a couple clubs that keep the 4 wheeler and motorcycle trails in order. For those of you that do this, thank you!
