After the railway was built in the area, Patrick McGarry founded Walker in 1896. Walker sits on the edge of Leech Lake. It is the third largest lake in Minnesota. The Leech Lake Indian Reservation is near the city. The population consists of less than 1,000 inhabitants, but has hotels, shops and restaurants.

This museum happens to be an old train station. You will find many objects related to the railway. There are also three rooms exhibiting Native American artifacts. At the back of the museum, five log cabins show exactly what life in the forest was like over a hundred years ago.

This visitor center is located near a beach and is the starting point of the Migizi trail. It may be a good idea to further explore the shores and forests of Pike Bay Lake along its paths. You will get all the necessary information from the rangers. The place is only open in summer.

This is the Junction of the Paul Bunyan Trail, heading west toward Akeley, Minnesota and the Shingobee Trail, heading north to Walker, Minnesota.

Lake Erin features a picnic area and short hike which leads around the perimeter of the lake. The trail is temporarily closed, but the parking lot and lakeside picnic area are open. For more information on the Lake Erin Loop Trail or to check for reopening, see the National Forest Service website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/chippewa/recarea/?recid=26832

Taken from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website: "The Paul Bunyan State Trail is 115 miles long, not including a couple of short on-road connections through the cities of Baxter and Bemidji. Extending all the the way from Crow Wing State Park to Lake Bemidji State Park, it is the longest of Minnesota's state trails and the longest continuously paved rail-trail in the country. It connects with the 8 mile Heartland State Trail, and at Lake Bemidji State Park it connects to the Blue Ox Trail, an unpaved motorized trail for snowmobiling and off-highway vehicle riding that extends northeast to International Falls."

This is a picnic shelter where you can find water, toilet, facilities and some nearby shops for supplies, right along the trail.
