Editor's Notes
- We are one of 10 RDC’s in greater MN. Meet quarterly by departments.
- The Paul Bunyan State Trail is a multi-use recreational Brainerd and Bemidji. Named after the giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan of American folklore, the trail is the longest continuously paved trail in the United States.[1] The route was part of the Burlington Northern Railroad lines abandoned in 1983. The trail currently covers a distance of 120 miles (190 km). The southern extension, completed in 2012, moved the southern terminus to Crow Wing State Park.
