What should I bring with me on the day of my rental reservation?

• Please keep in mind that weather in Northern MN can change quickly. It can be sunny when you take off from the store and turn to rain showers in the afternoon. We strongly recommend dressing in layers so that you can be comfortable in any climate. Be prepared to get dusty, dirty, muddy and wet, especially if it rained the previous day. Closed toe shoes are recommended for footwear. We advise against sandals as they can slip while driving and get unpleasant with sand and mud. You are more than welcome to bring a fresh set of clothing to change into at our facility after your ride is over.
• *DRIVER’S LICENSE* please bring your driver’s license with you. If you do not have it with you, we cannot rent to you.

• *Sunscreen* is always a good idea.

Can I trailer my rental machine?

• Trailering of these machines is not allowed. If you choose to put one of our machines on your trailer, you are 100% liable for the replacement cost of the machine if something happens to it while you are transporting it. Polaris Adventures and Up North Outfitters are not responsible for any damage that occurs while the machine is on your personal trailer. Under specific circumstances, Up North Outfitters may trailer a machine to a customer, but this is made on a case-by-case basis and approved by Up North Outfitters management. There would be a delivery/pick up fee applicable for such arrangements.

What happens in case of bad weather? Or is it nice when I leave and turns bad while I am out?

• Rental reservations are rain or shine. Please make sure that you are checking the forecast for the day of your rental reservation. If you do not show up for your rental reservation because it is raining and you have not communicated with an Up North Outfitters Representative, you will be charged the full rental price. We are open to discussing a reservation date change if we can accommodate without interfering with other reservations. See our cancellation policy for other cancellation questions.

Are there mileage limits or distance restrictions?

• In terms of mileage limits, ride to your heart’s content! We do not have a limitation on the miles that can be put on these machines. In terms of distance restrictions – there are some restrictions in place for this. Please keep in mind that you are in jeopardy of breaching your contract with Polaris Adventures and Up North Outfitters if you trailer these machines. If you choose to take the machines to another location greater than 50 miles away, you must disclose with Up North Outfitters the address of where the machine will be located.

Do we have to wear helmets?

• Yes, Polaris Adventures requires you to wear a helmet and by completing your waiver, you are agreeing to wear a helmet. Minnesota State Law requires anyone under the age of 18 to always wear a helmet while in the machine. Helmets and goggles are provided for each seat of the machine you are renting. We require every participant to be present so that proper fitting helmets can be provided. Please do not drop your helmet as all it takes is one drop to make a helmet not safe.

Are we required to have an ATV Safety Certification?

• The MN DNR does require anyone born after July 1, 1987, and who is 16 years or older, to complete the ATV safety online course. It is the responsibility of the renter(s) to ensure that they are compliant with this law. Up North Outfitters will not ask you to present your certificate. However, if you are on the trail and happen to encounter a law enforcement officer and are asked to present it, you are required by law to do so. If any fine(s) result from it, you are 100% responsible for those. We encourage you to visit www.ATVcourse.com (and pay all necessary fees online) to meet certification requirements.

What are typical trail conditions for the area?

• With all trails, conditions can vary day to day, depending on the weather. Please be prepared for all the elements (wind, rain, sun, heat) and be prepared to get dusty or muddy (sometimes both)! Generally, after a good rain, there are plenty of mud puddles to play in.
• Paul Bunyan State Forest: This hosts a variety of class 2 trails, from forest roads to switchbacks, and tight technical terrain. There is a fair portion of trails that have rocks and washouts. Thorpe Lookout is a must-see spot for anyone who has not explored the area, along with the many lakes to stop by and have lunch.
• Two-Inlets State Forest: This area hosts a lot of forest roads with some class 2 trails. This trail system offers smoother riding and a few more accommodations as far as eating and fuel.
• Huntersville State Forest: This area offers more forest roads and only a few class 2 trails. The soil is sandier than others in the area, so it does not hold moisture like surrounding areas.
