Once completed, Mississippi River Greenway will extend 27 miles along the Mississippi River from 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 nonmotorized uses such as walking, bicycling and in-line skating.
Currently, the north and south/east segments of the Mississippi River Greenway 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 and
Swing Bridge Trailhead in Inver Grove Heights. The trailhead for the south/east segment are located at the
Pine Bend Bluffs Trailhead,
Lock and Dam No. 2 Trailhead and in the Spring Lake Park Reserve at the
Fahey Trailhead and
Schaar's Bluff Trailhead.
Final section still closed for construction
The final section of the Mississippi River Greenway — from Pine Bend Bluffs Trailhead to the Fahey Trailhead — will be open for public use later this year. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting will occur Tuesday, Oct. 22, but construction is still active along the segment. Please respect trail closure signage and do not attempt to use the trail. Information on the official opening will be announced when available.
