Help us create a new hiking trail.
We are a group of local residents and hiking enthusiasts working to build a 100-mile backcountry style hiking trail exploring Minnesota’s Driftless Region Landscape, inspired by the Appalachian Trail, Superior Hiking Trail, Ice Age Trail, and others. We are in the early stages of development and seek to connect existing trails and public lands with new private land access opportunities to share the region at a human scale with everyone who will join us.

While we plan for the trail, there are plenty of chances to meet other passionate Driftless Hikers and learn more about the trail. We try and host regular presentations with area partners, and will have regular events soon.
