Pause on Mowing:
Due to high fire risk on the refuge and across the country, we are not actively mowing at this time, including natural surface trails. Heat from engines or sparks from mowing blades striking rocks pose a risk of unintentional fire during a time in which trained firefighters are needed in the American West. We plan to renew normal mowing protocol as soon as it is safe to do so.
Closures:
- Long Meadow Lake Trail - Trail closed Mondays-Fridays until further notice for state trail construction and repair
- Mendota Trail (MN DNR) - the Mendota trail between Jens Caspersen landing and Ft. Snelling State Park is closed indefinitely.
- Minnesota Valley State Trail (DNR) - Closed in Bloomington due to flood damage and Lyndale Avenue construction. Closed from Belle Plaine to Chaska due to flood damage. This includes the section that runs through the Louisville Swamp Unit.
Flooding Impacts:
Flooding damages have been assessed and clean-up began in mid-August. The following trails remain impacted by flooding:
- Bluff Trail
Hunting Season:
Hunting season is underway at the refuge. When recreating on areas of the refuge open to hunting, we encourage all trail users to be proactive about their safety. It is recommended all visitors wear blaze orange or pink during hunting seasons. Pets are to be leashed at all times. Learn more about hunt safety on our hunt page.
Lyndale Avenue/Sorenson Landing Trailhead Closed:
Beginning Thursday, August 15th, Lyndale Avenue/Sorenson Landing trailhead will be closed for the foreseeable future due to construction. During this time, the following trails will remain open, but will need to be accessed from an alternative location:
- Bluff Trail
