Mississippi River Trail
Discover the beauty of South St. Paul’s Mississippi River shoreline along the 5.8-mile paved trail that follows the river’s edge. Built atop the levee, this flat trail offers easy access for users of all ages and abilities. Enjoy scenic views of river activity and diverse wildlife as you explore.
The trail features six convenient access points, most with off-street parking, ensuring accessibility for walkers, cyclists, and casual strollers alike.
As part of the River to River Greenway, the Simon’s Ravine Trailhead in South St. Paul connects to a regional network. The greenway travels west through Kaposia Park into West St. Paul and east to the Mississippi River Trail, passing through Kaposia Landing and along the shoreline.
The greenway links communities including Lilydale, Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul. Planned future extensions will connect Valley Park in Mendota Heights with areas near Dodge Nature Center in West St. Paul, enhancing regional connectivity.
