The
Trail
Distance
and trails:
The event is sanctioned
for 10km (6.2 miles) made up of two 5km loops.
The trails are generally shady and grassy. One 5km loop has a
moderately steep, rocky section.
A walking stick is recommended and a walk-around trail for this
area will be marked.
Trails wind through woods, prairie and along Pike Creek and the
Mississippi River.
The main Hiking Club loop visits the site where Lindbergh landed
his “Jenny” plane.
Shorter paths follow Pike Creek or riverfront.
A quieter Little Elk unit north of the main park adds a small loop
amid forest and river views.
