An abandoned railroad line, once used by the Soo Line, has been developed into a multi-use recreational trail system. It will stretch from St. Croix Falls all the way to Superior, WI, winding in and out of Minnesota on the way.
The Gandy Dancer is open to hiking, mountain biking and other non-motorized summer activities. All-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles are welcome on the groomed trail during the winter months.
The Gandy Dancer connects St. Croix Falls, Centuria, Milltown, Luck and Frederic in Polk County. Plenty of free parking near the trail offers easy access for users.
The Gandy Dancer, named by railroad workers who used tools made by the Gandy Tool Company in it's construction, was used as a railway until 1990 when the tracks where removed. Now covered with crushed limestone it is the perfect, all purpose, recreational trail. The short distances between towns makes it enjoyable for the novice, yet the experienced athlete will find it serious challenge.
