Loop Trail Quick Facts
Stillwater Lift Bridge Closed 8/2/17 & will
remain closed until Early Fall 2019.
Much of the nearly five-mile Loop Trail is accessible. The only parts of the trail that are not open are the Stillwater Lift bridge and a portion of the trail on Houlton Hill from the Hilltop Trailhead down to the Lift bridge.
In Wisconsin, you can park in the park & ride lot on the south side of Hwy 35/Co. Rd. E. However both trailhead lots remain closed until signing is installed. The shelters, the main trailhead and the restrooms also are closed until picnic tables, benches, bike racks and other equipment is installed by early this summer.
No parking for the Loop Trail is available in the school's parking lots.
In MN, the new Upper Loop Trail parking lot along the east side of Hwy 95 north of the new bridge and south of Stillwater opened for Memorial Day 2018. There are 30 regular parking spots along with two handicapped.
