MN 232


Minnesota State Highway 232 (MN 232) is a highway in northeast Minnesota, which runs from its intersection with Aitkin County Road 3 in Palisade and continues east to its eastern terminus at its intersection with State Highway 65 and Aitkin County Road 14 in Shamrock Township, near Big Sandy Lake and the town of McGregor.

Highway 232 is 9.5 miles (15 km) in length.

Highway 232 serves as an east–west route in northeast Minnesota between Palisade and State Highway 65. It crosses the Mississippi River at Palisade.

Savanna Portage State Park is located 11 miles northeast of the junction of MN 232, MN 65, and County Road 14 (CR 14) in Shamrock Township. The park entrance is located on CR 14 in nearby Balsam Township.

Highway 232 was authorized on July 1, 1949.

The route was paved in 1959.

In 1996, the Minnesota Legislature approved removal of Route 232 from the state trunk highway system, becoming effective when Mn/DOT and Aitkin County agreed on a turnback plan; however, no agreement was reached. An article in the Aitkin newspaper in mid-June 1999 stated that only in recent months had Mn/DOT offered to give the county $4.3 million to repair and take control of the route. A $1.7 million Mississippi River bridge replacement in 2000 might have been part of the turnback agreement. At present, Route 232 still shows in Mn/DOT's route logs and on the official state highway map; and Aitkin County has decided not to accept the route under county maintenance. However, the Minnesota Statutes shows Route 232 being removed in spite of the lack of a turnback agreement.

The entire route is in Aitkin County.
