Cannon Valley TrailOf all of the scenic trails and paths in South Eastern Minnesota, the Cannon Valley Trail is one of the most beautiful and well traveled. The Cannon Valley Trail cuts through the agricultural area of Minnesota where the Cannon River joins the rest the Mississippi River near Red Wing, Minnesota. There's nothing quite like the austere beauty of the steep ravines and scenic bluffs that add character to the landscape of this area of Minnesota, where the river and the hills create a contrast of rich color that is unheard of in many other parts of the United States.The Cannon Valley Trail is a hiker's dream, but for those that prefer a more intense workout, there is a bike trail that runs alongside the Cannon River that stretches in extreme 70 miles, providing a rather intense yet rewarding workout experience that many cyclists have never heard of. The 70 mile trail wraps around the lake in on the side of the river, with views of the river the bluffs, and the agricultural farmland that this area of Minnesota is so infamous for. The Cannon Valley Trail itself is not quite 20 miles long, and there are different entry points along the way, including Red Wing and Cannon Falls, two cities along the trail. No matter what season you choose to go and you'll be rewarded with views unlike anything you've ever seen in your life, from rich green foliage to a colorful scene of orange, red, and brown leaves in the trees and flattering to the ground in the autumn. |
