A mix of history and scenic beauty, the Tuscobia State Trail is a 74-mile abandoned railroad grade that provides four seasons of fun.

Depending on the time of year, section of the trail, and your particular interests, activities on the multiple-use Tuscobia State Trail include hiking, ATV & UTV riding, snowmobiling, horseback riding, bird watching, fishing, mountain biking and canoeing.

There is NO small game hunting along the trail. Deer hunting is allowed on the trail while it is closed to other uses, which is from November 15 to December 15.

Running through Barron, Washburn, Sawyer and Price counties, you can find plenty of activities to keep you busy on the Tuscobia State Trail.
