Trail Overview
This section of Soo Line South is an easy trail with a great parking lot at the trailhead that has lots of room for trailers. The parking lot has security cameras and two vault-type restrooms. The parking lot and first few hundred feet of trail going up the hill from the parking lot's northwest end is asphalt since the trail going west remains asphalt for non-motorized use. (Access to the west side of US 10 is allowed and joint use; follow and obey posted signs.) This portion is around 12 miles and takes about 30 minutes at an average speed of 23 mph.

Difficulty
The section is an easy and flat converted rail grade. There's no need for 4x4 or even a locking differential. The surface is packed gravel without large rocks. Do pay attention to the edge of the trail as it can have steep backs since it is a converted rail grade. Bridge crossings are well marked and are about the only areas you need to use care and slow down.
