Description

Like the nearby River View Loop Trail, this trail also forms a loop with the River Trail and passes around a big bend in the Big Sioux River. In summer, it is a mowed grass and dirt trail that is essentially level. It passes some unusually large trees and you can expect wildflowers in season. Whereas the River View Loop Trail gives you limited access to the river (you can reach it at low water) , this trail offers views of the river but no easy access.
