Judges rule on South Fowl wilderness boundaries

Rhonda Silence — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:22:54 UT

On March 6, 2009, the US State Court of Appeals, 8^th Circuit, issued a decision on a boundary dispute regarding the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), clearing one hurdle for supporters of a 2 ½-mile snowmobile trail reroute between McFarland and South Fowl Lakes in Hovland. However, the question of whether or not sound from snowmobiles on the trail negatively impacts the wilderness is still to be determined.
US Forest Service plans to construct the South Fowl Snowmobile access were halted in August 2006 by a lawsuit filed by plaintiffs Sierra Club, North Star Chapter; Wilderness Watch; and Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness. Among other complaints, the plaintiffs alleged that the proposed snowmobile trail brought snowmobiles onto a wilderness lake, arguing that North and South Fowl Lakes were actually in the BWCAW. Judge John R. Tunheim first heard arguments in the case in December 2006.

Local snowmobiles join ‘Never Surrender’ ride

Rhonda Silence — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 17:30:00 UT

Five Cook County snowmobilers participated in the 2009 Blackwoods Blizzard Tour on February 5-7. Kathy and Tom Bernier and Tad McDonnell, of Colvill; Ron “Carbine” Carlson of Hovland and Chuck Silence of Grand Marais rode nearly 400 miles in the ‘Never Surrender’ ride to fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. They were up early Friday morning to travel down the scenic North Shore to Two Harbors where they spent the night. On Saturday, February 7, riders returned to Proctor. The event culminated in a gala dinner provided by Blackwoods at the Greysolon Ballroom in Duluth where riders learned that they had raised $465,000 to fight ALS.

Multiple Use Groups Endorse Trail Closure

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:47:01 UT

Just before Memorial Day weekend 2006, representatives of two groups promoting multiple use of public lands erected a sign announcing the closure of a trail in the Hovland area. Why would the Arrowhead Coalition for Multiple Use (ACMU) and the Cook County ATV Club endorse a trail closure? According to representatives of these groups, it is part of the effort by these groups to work with other forest users and to demonstrate their commitment to protection of our natural resources. The "trail closed" signs were erected at the entrance to a historically used snowmobile trail called the Royal River Trail by the US Forest Service and the Tilbury Trail by local users. The trail, sometimes called the South Fowl Lake snowmobile access, was closed in 2002 because it had been found to be encroaching on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
