Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail Bridge Connection (Merriam Junction Trail) - Carver, MN
The Merriam Junction Regional Trail Project completes a decade-long initiative to acquire and convert an abandoned rail bed to a regional, multi-use, accessible destination trail connecting Scott and Carver Counties across the Minnesota River. The project builds on past phases which have accomplished a regional trail master plan, most of the needed land acquisition, completion of trail segments that link this trail to the regional trail networks on both sides of the river, and completion of a segment of trail over Highway 169, a significant barrier on the Scott County side.

Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail Connection (Circle the Brick) - Chaska, MN
This project will fill a gap along CSAH 61 and through downtown Chaska utilizing the former C&NW Railroad right-of-way. The two miles of new trail will connect into the existing Southwest Regional Trail at each end, filling the last gap in the former railroad corridor connecting Carver, Chaska, Victoria, Chanhassen and into Eden Prairie and beyond! Inquiries on this project should be directed to the City of Chaska.
