Updated March 29th: Do not use Google Maps to find the blinds. You can use Google Maps to get to Dry Landing Road & St. Croix Trail Road, 46.113886, -92.091977. Blind 1 blue (west) is a new viewing location. There are no dancing birds at the north lek. Blind 2 green (east) and Blind 3 red (south) are the same as previous years but directions are different. Use the directions on this page.
Do not use Google Maps except to get to Dry Landing Road & St. Croix Trail Road, 46.113886, -92.091977. Interior trails are mistaken for roads and incorrectly identified on Google Maps and OnX. If a drivable surface is identified as a Road, you may drive on it. If unnamed or identified as a Fire Lane (Gomulak, Clemens and Delong/Lien), public visitor vehicles are not allowed. The exception is the small segment of Gomulak needed from St Croix trail to get the cabin site that has the bathrooms and picnic area.
