The Root River State Trail
Discover the dramatic river carved blufflands of southeastern Minnesota! The Root River State Trail is a 42 mile long multiple use trail through the quaint and picturesque rural communities of Fountain, Lanesboro, Whalen, Peterson, Rushford and Houston. The asphalt trail was mainly constructed upon an abandoned railroad grade which is generally level and wheelchair accessible. The eastern segment between Vinegar Ridge and Houston is relatively more challenging than the western segment with a rather steep, half-mile segment that may not be suitable for all users.
Bicycling, in-line skating, and hiking are the main summer uses of the trail. Cross-country skiing is popular in the winter.
The Root River State Trail provides outstanding views of the soaring limestone bluffs of the Root River Valley. Wildlife is abundant and sightings of wild turkey, deer, hawks, and turkey vultures are common. Rattlesnakes, a state threatened and protected species, are occasionally found on rock outcrops, along the river bottoms, or sunning themselves on the trail. They should be left alone.
These winter friendly trail caches were placed along the Root River Trail from Fountain to Lanesboro and along the Harmony-Preston branch east of the Isinours Forest Unit. Enjoy the scenic beauty of Bluff Country.
