Rolling glacial drumlins, open farmland, woods and marshes offer classic Midwestern landscape scenes across a long multi-use trail. Best at golden hour and fall color; winter snow adds graphic contrast and frozen marsh reflections. Accessible from multiple trailheads in Cottage Grove with free parking; mostly crushed limestone—bike or hike-friendly. Weekday mornings reduce crowds; no entry fee.
