Our headquarters are at the starting point of the Gandy Dancer State Trail in St. Croix Falls. This trail connects St. Croix Falls to several communities, including Centuria, Milltown, Luck, Frederic, Lewis, Siren, Webster, and Danbury. Located on a former railroad corridor, the trail is generally flat and wheelchair accessible. It features 47 miles of hard-packed crushed limestone, making it ideal for non-motorized activities. People enjoy hiking, running, geocaching, setting personal goals, and training for events on this scenic trail. We offer trail support services for the entire route.
