Emily Blind Lake ATV Trail & The Chisholm Trail
THE EMILY BLIND LAKE ATV TRAIL
For many years, the Emily-Outing Trail in Crow Wing County dead-ended in the City of Emily, and the Blind Lake Trail in Aitkin County dead-ended at Blind Lake. That all changed on September 15th, with the grand opening of the Emily Blind Lake ATV Trail. It connects the two trails at their south ends, creating a 75-mile loop with a wide variety of terrain.

This year, they went back to their roots, riding all summer on a couple Class 1 570s on loan from an ATV dealer. They called it the “570 Project.” Here is what they had in mind and what they found out, in a Q&A we did with Ben.
