Description

This trail forms a loop with the River Trail and passes around a bend in the Big Sioux River. In summer, it is a mowed grass and dirt trail that is essentially level. It passes some unusually large trees and you can expect wildflowers in season. There is limited river access (at low water) near the south end of the trail.
