Minnesota Driftless Hiking Trail

The Minnesota Driftless Hiking Trail is an ambitious long-distance, 100-mile trail currently in development, stretching from Chatfield, Minnesota, to the Mississippi River. Winding through the rugged and picturesque Driftless Area, this trail will showcase the region’s unique topography, rich biodiversity, and breathtaking landscapes.

Our goal is to create an immersive outdoor experience that connects hikers with the natural beauty, history, and communities of southeastern Minnesota. Once completed, the trail will provide opportunities for adventure, recreation, and conservation, offering a place for people of all backgrounds to explore, reflect, and connect with nature.
