Welcome to Cuyuna Adventure Town USA®
Tall green trees.
With 6,000 acres of mother nature’s
best man-made creation, you’ll never forget
Cuyuna’s distinct flavor of wild.
Clear blue lakes.
Cuyuna’s mine lakes are so deep they
tapped the wellspring of the gods. 40-foot
water clarity and unbelievable underwater adventures.
Some say our waters have magical powers.
Red dirt trails.®
It’s no secret what makes Cuyuna sizzle.
This year we celebrate a decade of being
the King of the Range by growing our
original 25 miles of trail to a solid 70.
That’s a whole lot more to love about Cuyuna.
Surrounded by a
purpose-built town
filled with purpose-
driven people
With makers, artisans, brewers, crafters,
writers, photographers, teachers, doctors,
nurses, engineers, and most importantly,
Rangers
No matter where you stay, it’s ride in, ride out.
Get here and park the car until further
notice. When everything is connected, you’ll have a
profound ability to connect not only to the
Cuyuna outdoors, but to your friends, family
and ultimately, yourself.
Winds of change.
