Gateway Trail Access
We believe that providing a link to the Gateway trail benefits our community and neighbors. Nearby homes lack easy and safe access to the trail without traveling along dangerous local roads.
We hope you'll enjoy a walk or ride along this path as much as we do.
Please help us keep it open to the public by respecting our privacy and observing all trail use guidelines.
We are not responsible for any injuries, have no duty to warn of dangerous conditions, and the public enters the land at their own risk.
Be kind and respectful to other users and nature
Stay on the marked trail
Dogs must be leashed
Dog owners must carry a bag for waste, and remove all solid waste
Respect trail closings during hunting seasons or as deemed necessary by owners
No motorized vehicles are allowed
Public access is suspended during hunting seasons and is marked as "Closed for hunting".
The trail is possible because of Minnesota statues:
