The Tomahawk Trail is 85.5 miles long. A very useful link that requires a lot of grooming. Thank you all for your continued support!
Leaving at the Lake and Cook County border intersection with the North Shore State Trail, the Tomahawk travels four miles north to Crooked Lake to a snowmobile gathering spot, the Crooked Lake Resort & Trestle Inn. Then onto Ely, Minnesota, travelling through the Superior National Forest. The Tomahawk connects with both the Stony Spur and Happy Wanderer Trails.
Manitou Crossing Kennels ~ owned by Blake and Jennifer Freking, is home to approximately 65 AKC Siberian Huskies which race competitively in long distance sled dog races throughout the US and Canada. Check out our 2019 and recent 2020 winners. Give them a call for your superior dog sledding experience. We are so proud of our neighbors!
