Well, unfortunately doing just that has caused serious trail damage to the areaâs trails that are currently closed. In recent weeks, an increased amount of trail damage has been observed in the county due to illegal out-of-season use during spring break up. This use is unacceptable and needs to end, or we all will lose what took so much time and hard work to develop. Â
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is ready to open their new camper cabins at Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park, which is great news for outdoor enthusiasts.
The DNR says that guests can begin making reservations for four cabins at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, December 28 for stays beginning beginning on December 31. The remaining four cabins will be ready for guests beginning Wednesday, January 13.
These eight new, year round cabins reportedly reflect the latest in green-building practices. Also, in honor of the history and culture of the area’s Indigenous people, the cabins are named with the Ojibwe words for the four seasons and four cardinal directions.
