State law (M.S. 84.8712) regarding the use of metal traction devices (a.k.a. "studs") on paved public trails reads: "A person may not use a snowmobile with metal traction devices on a paved public trail that is designated closed to such use by a local government with jurisdiction over the trail or on a paved state trail or any portion of a paved state trail that is designated closed to such use by the commissioner." The table and the map on this page lists all developed State Trails, and provides information on allowed snowmobile uses. Please note that paved trails administered by local units of government are also subject to the metal traction device prohibition law. Check with the local trail administrator for use restrictions. For more detailed information refer to a snowmobile map of the area you plan to ride or call the DNR Information Center for the most up-to-date trail information at 1-888-MINNDNR (1-888-646-6367). |
