The Bear Lake, Dogtown and connecting trail segments of the system are mostly hard-packed and dirt with some challenging hills. These segments roll through a variety of wooded terrain passing near a number of secluded lakes and streams. Section 36 and the Bramble segments are a little flatter. They feature some portions that are loose sand and gravel and paved roads.Fat tire bikes and mountain bikes are suggested for use on the trails. E bikes and hikers are welcome on all trails. After familiarizing oneself with the system, and with a little imagination, a rider can expand the miles by using available old logging roads and game trails all on Burnett County land.
