  • In the of Tracing the Route of Paul Bunyan in Minnesota's Northwoods
    in the of tracing the route of Paul Bunyan in Minnesota’s Northwoods story and photos by Cindy Ross 26 ADVENTURE CYCLIST JUNE 2021 strange-sounding animal forced my eyelids open one August evening in the Minnesota Northwoods. A dark, hulking form sat on a branch, making a clattering soundA in the tree above our tent. We were camped in the shadow of ancient white pines along the Pine River on the Paul Bunyan State Trail. We had cruised a half-mile of fun singletrack on our loaded Surly mountain bikes to this remote biker/paddler campsite — the first night in a weeklong ride. The owl called another owl in, and soon there were two clattering above us. One dove down to our tent, its silent wings almost touching us. They were young barred owls, anxious about many things at this stage of their lives and perhaps curious about our tent. Come morning, a feather was left by our site — a welcome as we began our approximately 250-mile ride through Minnesota’s Paul Bunyan land, a larger- than-life folklore character that has captured the enduring hearts of this part of America. Our route traced three rail trails, beginning with the south-north 121-mile paved Paul Bunyan Trail (PBT), which travels from Crow Wing State Park on up to Bemidji. It’s one of the longest rail trails in the U.S. and was inducted in the Trail Conservancy’s Hall of Fame as a “Signature Minnesota Destination.” Next, we rode the nearly 50-mile paved Heartland Trail, which intersects the PBT at Walker, followed by the gravel and dirt 96-mile Blue Ox-Voyageur Trail, an ATV-snowmobile converted rail trail that runs from Bemidji to International Falls at the Canadian border.

  • Cass Lake 04-0030-00 BELTRAMI COUNTY
    Cass Lake 04-0030-00 BELTRAMI COUNTY Lake Water Quality Summary Cass Lake is located at the city of Cass Lake, MN, and spans both Cass and Beltrami Counties. It covers 15,958 acres and is the 8th largest lake in Minnesota in terms of surface area. Cass Lake has four inlets and one outlet, which classify it as a drainage lake. Water enters Cass Lake from the Mississippi River, Kitchi Lake, Pike Bay, and a ground-fed stream in the northeast. The Mississippi River enters and exits Cass Lake. Cass Lake water levels are affected by the operation of two dams on the Mississippi River. Otter Tail Power Company operates a dam upstream, just below Stump Lake. At the Cass Lake outlet is Knutson Dam, owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service. A Superfund cleanup site exists on Pike Bay near the south side of Cass Lake. Water quality data have been collected on Cass Lake at various sites from 1979-2015 (Tables 2 & 3). These data show that the lake is mesotrophic (TSI = 44) with moderately clear water conditions most of the summer and excellent recreational opportunities. Cass Lake does not have an association. Its water quality is managed by the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Division of Resource Management. Table 1. Cass Lake location and key physical characteristics.
