Scenery

On this route, you'll see what the heart of the lakes area of Minnesota is all about. Winding turning roads on State highway 84 from Pine River to Longville keeps you on your toes and also gives you many lakes to look at along the way. As you travel along State Highway 84, you'll pass many lakes and trees everywhere. A couple of good watering holes along the way in Emily, and along state highway 6 at the Bridge Tavern. Take a second to stop at the Crosby Mine Pits for an excellent photo opportunity with amazing water clarity and impressive scenery.

Drive Enjoyment

Many twists and turns along the route from pine River to Longville. Emily to Crosby is flat and straight for the most part but make sure to stop at the Bridge Tavern for some refreshments.

Tourism Opportunities

Crosby Mine pits, Bridge Tavern and any one of the lakes along the way are excellent photo opportunities.

Get a room somewhere in the area and set out to ride this route early in the morning. If you try to drive in from elsewhere, you'll find yourself stuck in traffic pretty much across the entire length of this route. And it will suck. Otherwise, the scenery is beautiful, and the road is well maintained. You just can't really enjoy it for all the soccer-moms in their giant SUVs.

This route was alright, but most of it was pretty dull. The best part of the ride was the 87 to 84 stretch. If that was the entire route I would have given it 4 stars. Careful when taking this stretch though, there were a lot of loose gravels on the road due to all of the unpaved roads that connect to it. However, that stretch is beautiful and worth it. The rest of the ride was no different than riding on the highway.
