The Shooting Star State Trail is a multi-use recreational trail in southeastern Minnesota, USA. It currently runs 14 miles (23 km) between the towns of LeRoy and Adams, but the long-term plan is to continue through Rose Creek and Austin (where it would intersect with an expanded Blazing Star State Trail) to Lyle.[1] The route largely follows a leg of Minnesota State Highway 56, which was designated the Shooting Star Wildflower and Historic Route Scenic Byway.[1] Both trail and byway are named for the shooting star, a wildflower.
