The Mississippi River Regional Trail (MRRT) will extend 27 miles along the Mississippi River from South St. Paul to Hastings, providing scenic views of the river and connections to local parks and trails and other community destinations. The trail will be paved and is intended for non-motorized uses such as walking, bicycling, and in-line skating. The regional trail construction will be completed in phased segments with an anticipated completion date of 2014. The status of each of the trail segments is outlined in attached MRRT Development Map.
Currently, the north and south/east segments of the MRRT are open for use. Trailheads for the north segment are located at
Kaposia Landing Park and Simon's Ravine Trailhead in South St. Paul off of Concord Avenue. The trailhead for the south/east segment is located at
Spring Lake Park Reserve.
