Our Mahnomen County, Minnesota Highpointing Page

4 unnamed hills near county line: 1820+ feet

 

Introduction

Of Mahnomen County's 4 highest hills, two are on the Clearwater county line. They are all located in Section 24 of Twin Lakes Township. I visited these areas on May 27, 2005, after completing nearby Clearwater County.

 

Approaches to the Mahnomen County High Point Areas

From the Height of Land Lookout Tower in Clearwater County, I continued north on Height of Land Road.
I turned left (west) onto Norris Road, and drove.
I turned right onto Strawberry Mountain Road, and drove north to a point near the northernmost Mahnomen High Point Area.

 

Parking

I parked on the roadside opposite the northern area.

The entire area is in woods, with less than average density.
