We've been waiting all year for this trail to not be flooded - the Minnesota River has been really high this year and we've finally had enough dry days that this trail is no longer underwater. It was still a bit muddy but we we're able to complete the entire 4 mile hiking trail (even tough there was a trail closed sign that we went around to do this). We moved pretty fast on this trail because the bugs were terrible. 

​The trail winds along the Minnesota River, into the prairie for awhile then into the woods - but really nothing too spectacular. There were some pretty wildflowers and some changing leaves (though pretty I am not quite ready to say goodbye to summer).

Also because we were the only ones on the trail Penny was able to be off leash for a little bit while we were in the prairie section - where we could practice her recall (in a place where I could see for long distances so I could leash her up again if people came by).
