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.
Silent. Frozen. Beautiful.
The season continues to change. But the morning still belongs to winter.

#Cuyuna sunset 03/17/25
The golden glow just prior to sunset.
We were ice fishing. It was raining. 17.5” of ice and melting fast. We had 19” of ice yesterday.
60 degrees in March.

⚠️ A reminder that no ice is safe ice.
#Adventure Saturday in #Cuyuna - As the forest starts to unthaw we took to the roads for a 25 mile ride.
Around Serpent Lake, out past Sagamore, back into Ironton than Crosby and eventually Cuyuna. Lots of locals out riding the roads today.

It’s the first road ride of the season today. (March 2nd) followed by a highly successful ice-fishing outing. Regardless of the weather you’ll find an adventure here. #Cuyuna.
@teravail @shimanogravel
The fat bike trails may be closed but we still have ice. What’s your guesstimate for ice out this spring?

And without warning the wind blew, the snow fell, and our Minnesota winter returned. Good moment for a quick skate prior to the snow overtaking the rink.
What’s on tap for your adventure today?
How about some ice art to start off your Thursday? It’s 40F degrees at noon and the beauty is everywhere.
The trails yesterday were at their seasonal high.
Yawkey was dialed in and riding with speed and excellent traction!
Here`s a tip for a future Monday ride: @trailsidetavern features $5 burgers. It`s a great mid-ride stop to refuel!
The rest of this week the temps now surge above 40 degrees, so stay tuned to how this impacts the trail conditions.
