(KNSI) – A multi-use trail in Stearns County is closed due to repair work.
Maintenance crews are replacing culverts along the Dairyland Trial, leading to a temporary closure west of Elrosa. The path will be closed until the work is completed.
It has an aggregate surface and is used for biking, walking, horseback riding, and snowmobiling. The trail runs through a landscape dotted with dairy farms, cornfields and remnant prairie.
The path is 14 miles long, from 438th Avenue (Southweast of Elrosa) to 315th Avenue in New Munich.
Plans call for the Dairyland Trail to be extended southwest to Brooten and northeast to Albany to a length of 26 miles. This would connect the Dairyland Trail to other snowmobile routes and the Lake Wobegon Trail.
