The trail is very suitable for trail running as there are no roots or rocks. The only challenge may be an occasional gopher hole.

Enjoy this easy, family-friendly loop within the 143-acre One Mile Prairie. One Mile Prairie is owned and managed by the Fergus Falls Fish & Game Club (visit fffgcmn.org/) and is located within Fergus Falls' city limits.

The western half of the loop is part of the North Country National Scenic Trail's route through Fergus Falls. Views from the trail include prairie pothole wetlands, downtown Fergus Falls, the Central Lakes Trail, and Delagoon Park.

The trail passes through a tallgrass prairie with some trees. Look for wildflowers in the late spring, summer, and fall. Ducks, geese, and other waterfowl can be found in great numbers - particularly in the spring and fall.
