The trails at the River Bend Nature Center are open from 6am to 10pm every day. There are no required fees or permits. Trails in the park north of the railroad tracks are used for Nordic skiing in the winter months and are closed to runners. Snowmobiles are allowed on Dairy Lane and the Teepee Tonka and Rabbit Trail in the winter.

Need to Know

The main parking area is near the Trailside Center at the end of Rustad Road.

Description

This is one of the 10 miles of trails that wind throughout the River Bend Nature Center on both sides of the Straight River. Starting from its junction with the Owl Trail, the Trout Lily Trail runs south along the Straight River before turning northwest to end at its junction with the Oak Trail. Shortly before reaching the Oak Trail, the Trout Lily Trail crosses a slough on a stout bridge and, shortly before that, an obvious use trail goes out to a beach on the Straight River.
