Trail Overview

The Minnesota portion of the Gandy Dancer trail is an easy 30-mile ride. The trail is open year-round to ATV/UTV/ORV and bikes. In winter, the trail is groomed and shared with snowmobiles. The trail connects to other trails in the Danbury area, Nemadji State Forest, and Douglas County, WI. The trail is a former railroad bed with several bridges to cross, including the St. Croix River near Danbury, WI. The trail offers a variety of landscapes; from low-lying areas to pine and poplar forests. The Gandy Dancer trail to the south of Danbury, WI is off-limits to ATV/UTVs during the non-winter months, as it is primarily a hiking/bicycle trail to St. Croix Falls.
