We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of John A. Latsch State Park Bluff View Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 John A. Latsch State Park Bluff View Trailhead
“We were heading back to the Twin Cities after a college tour in Winona and really wanted one more scenic bluff to explore.”
Hike is full of stairs and is doable one! It took us an hour up and down with few stops on the way up..Views on the top are really beautiful!! loved the hike.
Great hike. 592 stairs. Railings along the way. Narrow trail. Numerous places to step off the stair system for a breather. Worth the climb!
We were heading back to the Twin Cities after a college tour in Winona and really wanted one more scenic bluff to explore. The park is conveniently located just off the highway. It only took about 20 min.
If you enjoy hiking, this bluff was so stiff to climb on. It has an amazing view from the top. Make sure you bring water. :) I kid you not you'll need it.
