Mountain Biking Simpson Creek Trails
#109 of 138 mountain bike trails in Minnesota
Nice series of x-c ski trails now open to mountain bikes. Rolling terrain, with a few hills. Almost all wide singletrack, through stands of white and red pine. Great fishing in area lakes. Backcountry campsites on neighboring Cutfoot Sioux National Recreational Trail, but camping is permitted throughout area, unless posted as "No Camping."
Recommended Route
Take trails primarily to the left, for the longest rides. Maps, water, toilets, etc. at visitor center.

From Minneapolis/St. Paul, take US Hwy. 169 north to Grand Rapids. Turn left (west) on US Hwy. 2 to MN Hwy. 46, just past Deer River. Turn Right on 46, go North 12 miles to Cutfoot Sioux Visitor Center. Park in lot at VC. Simpson Creek Trails can be accessed off either end of parking lot. Cutfoot Sioux Trail starts across the highway, or can be accessed through the Simpson Creek system. Maps available at the Visitor Center.
This is not a great trail for mountain biking. There were alot of fallen trees you had to get off and walk around. The trail is not really a singletrack and is made more for hiking. It is also not well marked it kind of ends on a logging road.
