it’s riding flat out on a rolling forest trail or maneuvering the technical
twists and turns of a tight single track, mountain biking has
become a popular regional sport. So if you’re a "Fat-Tire Fanatic", don’t

| Dunton Locks County Park |
| For the nature lover, Dunton
Locks has 3.8 miles of
hiking/mountain biking/cross country ski trails located on
the hills above the Eagles Picnic Shelter and along the shores
between Lake Sallie and Muskrat Lake, south of the bridge. The
northern trails wind through hardwood forested hills once a
gathering spot for the Sioux Indians. Remnants of Indian burial
mounds are still present throughout the park. In fact, much of
the park area was a gathering area for netting tulabies,
camping, and trading. The southern trails also wind through
rolling, wooded terrain, however much of the trails are located
on private land owned by the Soo Pass Ranch. This land is used
for camping during the several music festivals the Soo Pass
Ranch holds each year.

Coming Soon!! The three miles of single-track trails at Mountain
View Recreation Area wind their way through a mature, mixed
hardwood forest. The terrain may look overly challenging, but
the trails are laid out to be challenging without being
daunting. These trails offer several different loop options.
Wider trails for hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country
skiing (in season) are also located within the recreation area.
The single-track trails will cross the other trails at various
locations. Please be aware of other trail users in the area.
