Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area

Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area (CCSRA) is a state park unit of Minnesota, USA, being developed to rehabilitate a portion of the Cuyuna Range where mining pits and piles of waste rock were left behind after decades of open-pit mining for iron ore.

The Croft Mine Historical Park, formerly city-run, is now part of the state recreation area.

In June 2011 30 miles (48 km) of single track trails for mountain biking officially opened to the public.

This park is endorsed by the International Mountain Bicycling Association as a Ride Center; I saying "With purpose-built trails for beginners, intermediates and experts, riders from across the region are making the pilgrimage to a new Midwest Mecca" [1] As of the summer of 2021, CCSRA has over 50 miles of mountain bike trails covering over 800 acres.
