Mesabi Mountain Trail
Progress Park Parkway trail parking, Eveleth, MN
About this trail
Mesabi Mountain is a four-mile ORV trail near Eveleth, Minnesota, with narrow wooded sections, rocky ridges and challenging rock obstacles. Minnesota DNR rates it most difficult and recommends 35-inch tires, lockers, a winch and traveling with other vehicles. The DNR closure list, updated November 2, 2026, currently marks it closed. Its normal season excludes firearms deer season and March 15 through the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Check the DNR closure list before traveling; this entry does not establish permission to enter while closed. The pin is an approximate parking reference read from the official DNR map, not a surveyed entrance. Use the designated ORV route; the separate Genoa ATV/OHM trail has different vehicle permissions.
