Confirmed from Goodhue Pioneer State Trail Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Goodhue Pioneer State Trail Trailhead
“Well maintained and beautiful trail.”
“A beautifully quiet trail.”
Trail from Red Wing to Hay Creek. Use for biking and walking in the summer. Hiking and snowshoeing in the winter. Ride over to Dressens in Hay Creek for lunch. Trail is flat and paved.
Well maintained and beautiful trail. Creek runs all along it. You can enjoy the sound or hop in and cool down. Connects to cannon trail and at trail head. Stop at haycreek bar and grill towards end for food and beverage.
Great, long trail with NO MAYFLIES! Best trail during mayfly season, but watch for baby toads as they'll get right under your feet!
Very nice paved trail. Goes from Red Wing to Hay Creek through woodlands and horse pasture land. A horse trail runs alongside the bike trail.
