Minnesota Hiking Association: Harmony-Preston State Trail

Harmony-Preston State Trail

We highly recommend this trail.My personal opinion is this is one of the best trails in the state.

The Harmony-Preston Valley State Trail is a paved 18-mile multiple use trail that connects the communities of Harmony and Preston with the Root River State Trail.
In the warmer months the trail is mostly used for hiking, biking and in-line skating.

What I like about this trail,is it's also one of the best cross country ski trails in the state.

This trail is constructed on an abandoned railroad line.It's very level and as I mentioned earlier this is a great ski trail in the winter.This trail follows or crosses Watson Creek, the South Branch of the Root River, and Camp Creek.

This is really a beautiful trail system,and one the whole family can enjoy.

Parking

Harmony : From Highway 52 take 4th Street NW approximately 1/2 mile west to the parking lot.

Volunteers Needed

Please take a moment to volunteer to help maintain a trail.

Whether it be collecting trash thrown along the path,to lending a helping hand with a shovel for repairs.

There are so many ways to help.Just a little time from others makes a huge difference.

We support no specific trail here in the state.We want you to support what trail matters to you.One in your community.Talk to them,and say "Hey..what can I do to help this trail?".

Take the time to appreciate trails in the state,and encourage others to get on out there and stretch the legs a bit.

There is nothing better than a good walk,or hike for mental & physical exercise.

ON THE OTHER HAND :

You don't need to volunteer...just give thanks,and a pat on the back to those who do maintain the trails here in the state.That's just as important as bending over to pick up a piece of trash.

Having those who care about our trail system here in Minnesota..helps the movement to maintain them.

So we thank you for visiting,and having an interest in looking up a trail,or looking for a new place to hike.

We are constantly adding new hiking paths to explore on a weekly basis.

The bottom line is.Take action and help be part of a path in Minnesota.Your interest alone will help keep it alive.

Find a trail system that interests you.

That's what we're about,and take it from there and stretch those legs :)
