Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – The Trust for Public Land and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced the addition of 2,529 acres of land to the Paul Bunyan State Forest.
TPL donated the land, which is “roughly four-square miles of rolling hills of forests, lakes, ponds and wetlands near Park Rapids,” according to a news release.
Previously owned by PotlatchDeltic, the parcel is surrounded by public land owned by Hubbard County and it’s adjacent to Deep Lake Park, a year-round, recreational park that the county is currently developing.
The parcel also includes a portion of the Scout Trail, a pre-existing Grant-in-Aid snowmobile trail.
The new land addition will be managed by the DNR as part of Paul Bunyan State Forest.
