The USFS will be carry building materials along the Banadad from the
Lizz to Mead Lake Portages starting today, Monday, February 2. The works is planned
to take two days. The building materials will be stored at the Meads portage and then used this summer to
repair the walkway along the portage. As a consequence the ski
tracks will we trashed along this section of the Banadad during the process of moving the materials.
While this work is going on this one and one-half mile section can be skied but there will be no tracks. Must importantly skier should be watch-out for snowmobiles on the trail. When the work is completed the trail will be re-tracked.
The 41 km. Banadad Ski Trail System is accessible from two trail heads, both with free parking; the eastern trail head is located 30 miles up the Gunflint Trail off the Lima Grade; the west end trail head is on the Gunflint Trail at Fire # 10045. In addition to the Banadad the trail system consists of the Lace Lake, Tall Pines and Tim Knapp Trails. The Banadad is the BWCA longest tracked ski trail and likely the longest wilderness tracked ski trail in the USA. For more info call 218-388-4487.
