Matthew Lourey State Trail
About
The Matthew Lourey State Trail is a multi-use, natural and gravel surfaced trail that spans approximately 80 miles and passes through forests linking St. Croix State Park with Chengwatana, St. Croix, and Nemadji state forests.
The entire trail is open to hiking and snowmobiling. The trail is also open to horseback riding and mountain biking; however, only sections in St. Croix State Park are managed for those uses.
Portions of the Matthew Lourey State Trail are open to seasonal ATV/OHM use. These sections travel through and connect Nemadji and St. Croix state forests, featuring rolling terrain with occasional hills. Sections of the trail are open for winter ATV use. This trail was named in honor of Chief Warrant Officer Matthew Lourey, who was killed in action in 2005 during a tour in Iraq.
