Route description

State Highway 32 serves as a north–south route between Tansem Township, Twin Valley, Fertile, Red Lake Falls, Thief River Falls, and Greenbush in west-central and northwest Minnesota.

Highway 32 parallels U.S. 75 and U.S. 59 throughout its route.

The route passes through the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge in Polk County, east of Crookston, west of Erskine.[3][4]

History

Highway 32 was authorized in 1920 from present-day U.S. 2 to Greenbush.[5] The southern segment extending to Highway 34 was authorized in 1933.[1]

In 1940, the route was mostly gravel north of U.S. Highway 2. By 1953, only the southernmost five miles (8 km) of the route were still gravel. Completely paved in the present day.
