History:

The city of Akeley was incorporated on December 30, 1916. It was developed on large tracts of timber land that had been surveyed by Thomas Barlow Walker in 1876 and purchased by him and Akeley a short time later; their Red River Lumber Company began in 1893. General settlement began about 1895, with a general store, a brick industry, and hotels; the railroad came in 1899; the post office began in 1895 as Akely in postmaster John A. Plummer's home. Plummer was born in Indiana in 1851, came with his family to Minnesota in 1855 and to Akeley Township in 1894; the name changed to the present spelling in 1927. Dairying replaced the lumber industry by the early 1900s, and the Red River Lumber Company moved its mill to California in 1917.

Audrey's Purple Dream
PO Box 272
Akeley, MN 56433
Phone: (218) 252-9993

Second Saturday in February

Dedicated to the memory of Audrey Faye Pidde, a life long resident of Akeley, Minnesota. After a heroic battle against cancer Audrey passed away on March 24th 2005. One of Audrey’s last wishes was to go to Alaska. Audrey had many friends and many family members who helped make the original Purple Dream happen in February of 2005, on the 11th Crow Wing Lake. The event raised almost $10,000 to send Audrey to Alaska. Unfortunately the cancer didn’t give Audrey enough time to realize her dream, but the money raised did make a huge impact on the last few weeks of Audrey’s life. It enabled her to pay medical bills and other expenses, giving her some peace of mind, and most of all it let her know how much people care. Now the Annual Purple Dream will raise funds to help other local cancer victims and their families.

Heartland Trail
Web: www.dnr.state.mn.us

The Heartland State Trail was one of the first rail-to-trail projects in the country. It is a 49 mile multiple use trail between Park Rapids and Cass Lake. The trail is located entirely on a level abandoned railroad grade except for a four mile segment north of Walker, on sharply rolling terrain. The 27 mile segment between Park Rapids and Walker has a paved surface. This segment also has a second grassy treadway for horseback riding and mountain biking. The 22 mile segment from Walker to Cass Lake is primarily compacted gravel and railroad ballast with occasional sandy areas and can be used for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking.

In winter, an alternate trail is groomed for snowmobiling between Park Rapids and Walker. (The paved trail between Park Rapids and Walker is closed to all snowmobiles.) Snowmobiles are allowed on the Heartland State Trail between Walker and Cass Lake. There also are connections from the trail to many miles of groomed snowmobile trails in the Hubbard county Grant-in-Aid trail system.

Views of lakes, rivers and streams are numerous, and many are accessible from the trail. The trail passes through northern hardwood forests and stands of jack, red, and white pine, as well as the spruce fir forest community. The occasional majestic white pine can be seen towering over the trail. Common mammals noticed along the trail include whitetail deer, raccoon, red fox, porcupine, beaver and muskrat. The observant trail user may spot coyote, weasel, mink, bobcat or black bear. Many varieties of birds can be seen along the trail including the bald eagle, which has a large population in the Chippewa National Forest and surrounding area.
