Welcome to Cuyuna Adventure Town USA®
Tall green trees.
With 6,000 acres of mother nature’s
best man-made creation, you’ll never forget
Cuyuna’s distinct flavor of wild.
Clear blue lakes.
Cuyuna’s mine lakes are so deep they
tapped the wellspring of the gods. 40-foot
water clarity and unbelievable underwater adventures.
Some say our waters have magical powers.
Red dirt trails.®
It’s no secret what makes Cuyuna sizzle.
This year we celebrate a decade of being
the King of the Range by growing our
original 25 miles of trail to a solid 70.
That’s a whole lot more to love about Cuyuna.
Surrounded by a
purpose-built town
filled with purpose-
driven people
With makers, artisans, brewers, crafters,
writers, photographers, teachers, doctors,
nurses, engineers, and most importantly,
Rangers
No matter where you stay, it’s ride in, ride out.
Get here and park the car until further
notice. When everything is connected, you’ll have a
profound ability to connect not only to the
Cuyuna outdoors, but to your friends, family
and ultimately, yourself.

Next time you’re looking for a bite to eat, stop by Trailside Tavern. Whether you relax on the patio, check out the historic bar, or gather around a table, you’ll enjoy great food, various craft beers, and delicious cocktails. Their menu is truly a carnivore’s delight: broasted chicken, St. Louis ribs, applewood smoked wings, and bison burgers, to name a few. (Soups and salads are also available.)

Backcountry (trail) takes you off the beaten path into the north side of the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area. It is an intermediate trail featuring unavoidable obstacles, mandatory rock drops, and technical rock gardens. The construction and design aim to provide a more technical, tight singletrack experience. When you cycle Backcountry, you`ll feel out there. We love Backcountry, you might too.

As we continue to clean up from last week`s storm, we highly recommend Eli of Poplar Feller if you need tree or stump removal and clean-up services. Give him a call.
For a true ride-in, ride-out experience, check out True North Basecamp’s Cabin Tents! Large, heavy-duty cloth-covered tents with a wood base, outdoor carpet, cots, and an internal battery-operated lantern with a USB port. The best part? They are assembled and ready for your overnight adventure—all you have to do is show up!
