Lake Wobegon Trail
The Lake Wobegon Trail is a 46 mile long, 10 foot
wide, bituminous surfaced hike-and-bike pathway. The trail,
which opened on September 30, 1998, extends from the city of St.
Joseph to the city of Osakis. The
trail runs on the MN/DOT rail corridor formerly owned by
Burlington Northern Railroad Company. The trail has grown
substantially since it was first opened and further additions to
the trail are continuing to be planned. The trail has already
seen a lot of use by bicyclists, snowmobilers, roller-skiers,
roller bladers, and of course, walkers. |
