It is about 39 miles in length and is open from April 1 to November 30, depending on the weather conditions.
This State Forest is named after General Christopher Columbus Andrews, He was a civil war general and Minnesota's first chief fire warden. Red pine and Jack cover almost the whole area of this forest. There is also, birch, aspen, and oak. Just picture this while out running your ATV. It will provide you with rolling trails with sandy soil, a fun ride on your ATV indeed.
Because there is lots to see and do, you may want to camp out with your ATV buddies, so you can see and do all that you want to. This is a beautiful place with lots to offer any ATVer wanting to test their skills.
Because of all this, watch your speed out there. It is a very popular place and you never know when someone or something might cross your path or even be lost and on the wrong trail. That is when being absolutely alert comes into play, you want to always watch for the ATV markers to make sure you are on the right ATV trail.
Excitement can get in the way of doing some important things before you head out. One of those things is doing a complete check on your ATV. Make sure it is in good running order, then go have lots of fun.
