Alger Grade OHM Trails
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Silver Creek, Encampment River |
| Last Known Status | Closed For Season |
This trail system opened to the public in June 2022 and offers 14 miles of pure single track trails that are marked and rated. The trail system winds through some dense vegetation and the trails are regularly maintained
Most of the trails cater to the advanced rider and feature twisty, narrow sections with offcamber turns, but there are a couple moderate loops that aren’t as difficult but still fun for all skill levels.
There is plenty of room for parking but no amenities, so come prepared. There is no fee charged to ride but all dirt bikes must have a current MN OHV Sticker. Be sure to say thanks to the Wild Country ATV Club for these awesome new trails.
