The 7.5 mile trail system showcases wildlife habitats that developed from the "fire shadow" effects of Maple Lake. This westernmost extent of maple-Basswood forest in Minnesota shrouds the rolling landscape of glacially formed hills and wetlands. This is the stage for visitors to experience a tranquil view of wildlife habitats found on the Refuge. Trails are opened to hiking, biking, and cross country skiing.
Visitor Center open weekdays 8:00am - 4:00 pm. Extended summer hours. Contact Rydell National Wildlife Refuge for current Visitor Center hours. Asphalt and Gravel trails are ADA Accessible.
