Developing a 100-mile footpath across southeastern Minnesota.

Help us create a new hiking trail.

We are a group of local residents and hiking enthusiasts working to build a backcountry style hiking trail exploring Minnesota’s Driftless Bluff Country Landscape, inspired by the Appalachian Tail, 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.
