Trail 247 is located within the Spider Lake OHV Area and provides a fun, technical drive through the wooded terrain of Minnesota’s Foothills State Forest. Obstacles along the route include humps that create breakover challenges. Shorter wheelbase vehicles will generally find these sections easier to navigate. Experienced drivers will find the road straightforward, while beginners will have the chance to learn their vehicle's breakover limits.

Most stock offroad vehicles with good ground clearance and a 4 Low transfer case should be capable of completing the trail in dry conditions. While it may be rated as easy within the system, the route is still a true OHV trail and should not be mistaken for a groomed forest road. Conditions can become more difficult when wet or muddy.

Camping is available nearby along Spider McKinley Road. Trail availability follows the open and closure status of the Spider Lake OHV Area and is typically accessible during spring, summer, and fall.

If you would like a map of the entire area, one is available on the state’s website.
