Multi-Use

This trail will be accessible to various user types throughout the year, including cyclists, pedestrians, and those with four-legged companions. Safety measures have been incorporated, such as designated directions for different user types and the clearing of brush to ensure safe sight lines. No parking lots, bathrooms, or other facilities will be installed.
Designed To Official Minnesota Guidelines

Our concept plan has been developed under the supervision of Rochester Parks & Rec, adhering to guidelines set forth by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. These guidelines encompass standards for trail slope, curvature, and density, ensuring the sustainability of the trail.
Free To Use

Like all trails constructed and maintained by RASC, this trail will be freely accessible to the general public, following Rochester Parks system rules. Notably, the construction and maintenance of this trail will be carried out by volunteers, resulting in no cost to taxpayers. The plan is designed to complement existing amenities, such as the baseball diamond and skating rink, while intentionally maintaining a considerable distance from residential areas.
