General Information
Over the years, representatives from Washington County Parks, Denmark Township, the City of Afton, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and others have discussed the potential of a trail in the south St. Croix Valley, near the St. Croix River. The trail would connect downtown Afton with Afton State Park, St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park, Carpenter Nature Center, Point Douglas Park, and Prescott, Wis.
During 2004 and 2005, a public master planning process took place to identify an alignment for this proposed trail. Public meetings were held throughout the process, concluding with a public hearing Aug. 2, 2005, at which the Washington County Board of Commissioners adopted the plan. The Metropolitan Council approved the plan Dec. 7, 2005. The final master plan document is available below.
