Notes

This trail is on a bike path that goes from Afton to Lakeland on the Minnesota side of the Saint Croix River Valley. Compared to the Afton Loop on the area roads, the course is very flat. The trail goes from Afton through Saint Mary's Point, Lake Saint Croix Beach, Lake Saint Croix and Lakeland Shores on its way to Lakeland. The path runs parallel to Old Highway 95 now renamed Washington County 18. Park in Afton and rollerski north to join the bike path at the Afton City Hall. The distance is 5 kilometers from end to end for a 10K round trip. (Submitted by Jay Tegeder) Pros: Fairly good asphalt on a flat trail which is a nice change of pace from the hilly Afton roads. Training in the Saint Croix Valley is always a plus. If you want some hills, you can always hook up with the Afton area roads. After rollerskiing, you can stop at Selma's in Afton for ice cream. Cons: The trail is flat and fairly close to Washington County 18 which it parallels. Also, there are numerous driveway and street crossings.
