The developing Swedish Immigrant Regional Trail will one day span 20 miles between the central Minnesota town of Wyoming and Taylors Falls on the banks of the St. Croix River. The paved trail will run east-west trail across Chisago County paralleling Highway 8 and follow a former rail line that once carried many Swedish settlers during the late 1800s.
About the Route
There are currently two open segments of the trail: a 5-mile section running between Chisago City and Center City, and a 6.7-mile section running between Shafer and Taylors Falls.
There are 5 trailheads along the route with various amenities including parking, restrooms, and camping.
Connections
In Wyoming, the trail will intersect the Sunrise Prairie Trail, a north-south route stretching 16 miles. The Swedish Immigrant Trail will also connect to the Chisago Lakes Area and Interstate State Park.
The Swedish Immigrant Regional Trail runs between 302nd St. (Chisago City) and 637 First St. (Taylors Falls).
