The Great River Ridge State Trail is a multi-use recreational rail trail in southeastern Minnesota, USA. It is planned to run 15 miles (24 km) from the city of Plainview through Elgin to Eyota. Currently the final 2 miles (3.2 km) leading into Eyota are incomplete, but the rest of the route is paved and, south of Elgin, includes a parallel unpaved trackway for horseback riders and snowmobiles. An extension providing access to Carley State Park is also planned.[1]
