Trail Description

The trails at Zumbro are both wide, easy, and fast and narrow, challenging, and slow. You'll encounter rocks of all sizes, sand, long climbs and downhills, and stretches of flat "make up time" sections. Shoes or hoof protection is highly recommended. This is a state forest, not the well manicured trails of state parks. It is not uncommon to require some navigating around a fallen tree that happened overnight. There are no water crossings (and please stay out of the river due to it's quick sand tendencies) but you get to cross it several times on a big iron bridge.

Vet Checks
  • All checks in camp

Online registration will conclude on October 17th.
