This is the on-line home of the Laurentian Lakes Chapter of the North Country Trail Association.  We are the 2nd newest NCTA chapter in Minnesota and are responsible for developing and maintaining the North Country National Scenic Trail in Clearwater and Becker Counties.  Our chapter name is derived from the fact that the NCT follows the Laurentian Divide  and passes near several large lakes along it in our area.

Our trail section runs from the intersection of the Nicollet and Eagle Scout Trails in the middle of Itasca State Park through Clearwater County to the Becker - Ottertail County border south of the City of Frazee.  For more about us and out trail segment, download our chapter brochure (PDF, 1.8MB).
