The Soo Line trail offers ATV riders a unique view of the wilderness and wildlife of Morrison County .

Running 30 miles , the Soo Line as of spring 2023 , now starts from the Great River Road , west of the Blanchard Dam , across Highway 10 between Little Falls and Royalton Northeast to the Morrison / Mille Lacs County Line . The new crossing over the Blanchard Dam , allows ATVers to cross the Mississippi . The trail provides a comfortable ride for those looking to spend a day in nature . It must be noted that newer portion of the trail near Blanchard Dam is a shared trail with walkers bicycles , so a speed limit of 10-15 miles per hour will be in place — please follow the signs .

Parking and trail access points are located at the trail head and in the communities of Genola and Hillman . Food and gas is also available in Pierz and Genola .

Perhaps the best stop along the trail is about eight miles east of Genola , which contains a park for recreational use . The park has a circle entry and exit and is located on the back side of a granite pile that was made during the early days of the railroad track development . The park has a 15-foot by 20-foot insulated shelter , picnic tables , an outdoor grill and a wonderful view of the Hillman Creek .

The trail is rated “ easy ” by the Minnesota DNR , and is for ATVs considered as “ Class II .”

Riders can enjoy the trail year-round , with the exception of November , to accommodate deer hunters . The
