The Cannon Valley Trail is a 19.7-mile paved bicycle and hiking trail located in southeastern Minnesota. It offers stunning views of the Cannon River valley, with diverse scenery that includes overhanging cliffs and wetland complexes. Owned and operated by a Joint Powers Agreement, the trail is open year-round for various activities such as bicycling, hiking, walking, and cross-country skiing.
Connecting the cities of Cannon Falls, Welch, and Red Wing, the Cannon Valley Trail is not part of the MN State Trail system but does connect with other nearby trails. Trail users aged 18 or older are required to have a valid Wheel Pass during certain months, and cross-country skiers need a Great Minnesota Ski Pass. Regular updates on trail conditions and projects are provided to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all trail users.
