One of the great opportunities for hiking and biking in Lake Country is the Central Lakes Trail. The trails western most starting place is about 1/2  mile east on State Hwy 210 from Pebble Lake Road near Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Because it is an old railroad bed, it is a fairly level ride. The scenery is quite nice with an abundance of lakes and wooded lands along the way.

Central Lakes Trail

The Central Lakes Multi-purpose Trail is paved from Fergus falls to the east Grant county line offering visitors hiking, biking rollerblading and roller skating opportunities off the beaten path.
In mid-August the trail received a fog seal, which is a light application of liquid asphalt to seal the pavement surface and to reduce weathering of the pavement.
