Trail Closed Season

The trail is closed from Sept. 22nd, 2025 – May 22nd, 2026

The Hiawatha Trail will re-open on May 22 running thru Sept. 13, 2026!

WHY are we now closed? Hunting season opens in this remote forests, and we feel most guests would not find it enjoyable if your tranquility was disturbed by rifle shots ringing out nearby in the forest.

Please make plans to use the trail when all services are available. Trail opens on May 22, 2026, & runs 7 days a week thru Sept. 13, 2026.

HOLIDAY PERIODS For 2026: Mon. May 25, Fri. June 19, Fri. July 3, Sat. July 4 & Mon. Sept. 7, 2026.

Thank you for supporting the Hiawatha Trail. A substantial portion of all fees collected goes to the US Forest Service. Other dollars collected are used for necessary maintenance to keep this incredible trail open and available to the public.
