About Our Multi-Use Trail System
132 Miles of Pure North Country Adventure
The St. Lawrence County Multi-Use Trail System is your gateway to 132 miles of pure North Country adventure. Winding across a mix of public and private lands, this rugged trail network takes you deep into the wild beauty of the Ft. Jackson and Brasher State Forests, with off-road stretches linked together by select town and county roads. Just follow the brown ATV signs and the trail will lead you to your next thrill.
Trailside Amenities and Hidden Gems
From the forests of Brasher down through Parishville and Hopkinton, and across from South Colton to Russell and beyond, this trail system connects small towns, hidden gems, and wide-open wilderness. Along the way, you’ll discover trailside stops for gas, food, supplies, camping, and lodging which is perfect for fueling up both you and your machine before heading back into the woods.
