Root River Trail
When the Southern Minnesota Railway Company cut its right-of-way through the bluffs of southeast Minnesota circa 1860, no one could have guessed that it would someday become one of the most popular recreational trails in the nation. The Root River State Trail System boasts more than 60 miles of paved surface bounded on the west by the city of Fountain, on the south by Harmony and on the east by Houston. Other towns on the trail are Preston, Whalan, Peterson, Rushford, and, of course, Lanesboro, the hub of the Root River Trail. Thousands of cyclists, roller-bladers and hikers each year experience the beauty of the Root River Valley via this magnificent trail as it meanders along the peaceful Root River. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources owns and maintains the trail and charges no use fees, except for cross-country skiing during the winter.
Start the Root River Trail at the Lanesboro Museum. Go over the old train bridge. Walk along the trail to another bridge, the dam will be on the left. Trail will cut through rock on either side. Thorough the woods over another bridge. More woods to an open area, a field of crops will be on the right. Over the forth bridge. Take 14 steps from the bridge planks. Look to the right at a rotted log. At the base of the log and a live tree you will find the box.
