Minnesota State Highway 232 (MN 232) was a 9.540-mile-long (15.353 km) highway in northeast Minnesota, which ran from its intersection with Aitkin County Road 3 on the east edge of Palisade and continued east to its eastern terminus at its intersection with State Highway 65 and Aitkin County Road 14 in Shamrock Township, near Big Sandy Lake and the town of McGregor.

[6][7] In 1996, the Minnesota Legislature approved removal of Route 232 from the state trunk highway system, becoming effective when MnDOT and Aitkin County agreed on a turnback plan;[8] however, no agreement was reached.

An article in the Aitkin newspaper in mid-June 1999 stated that only in recent months had MnDOT offered to give the county $4.3 million to repair and take control of the route.

[9] A $1.7 million Mississippi River bridge replacement in 2000 might have been part of the turnback agreement.

[2] Despite the agreement, MN 232 continued to be present in MnDOT route logs as recently as February 2013, but it was finally removed from the November 2013 release.
