Trail Damage Due To Flooding
From Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge:
After nearly three months of flooding along the banks of the Minnesota River, refuge maintenance crews are continuing to assess trail damage as waters recede and trails dry. Trails may remain closed for public safety or for resource protection. Cycling on paved trails is especially dangerous and closed on natural surface trails until conditions improve.
