The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is seeking public comment on two proposed off-highway vehicle trail connectors under its Grant-in-Aid program, which helps fund and manage OHV routes across the state.

The primary proposal is the Lake of the Woods Connector, a 58-mile route in Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties that would formally link existing county roads and trail segments already open to OHV use. If approved, the connector would create a continuous route open to ATVs, off-road vehicles and off-highway motorcycles.

The DNR is also accepting comments on the North Star Connector, a 28-mile route along the Moose River Dike in Beltrami County, which would continue current ATV use.

Written comments are due by 4:30 p.m. February 16th. More information is available on the DNR website.
