Blanchard Dam is located just east of mile marker 150. The dam is an active hydroelectric plant on the Mississippi River owned by Minnesota Power and supplies electrical power to the area. The bridge over the Mississippi at this point offers a great view the river.

We are in need of additional active board members to help manage the Lake Wobegon Trails Association. I have been involved with the association since the early 2000s and plan to retire by November 15th, 2024.

We are a great organization! The organization’s mission is to promote the Lake Wobegon Trails, the communities and businesses along the trails and to support Stearns County Parks in their efforts to maintain and improve the trails.

We have 3 successful events that have been around for a long time. The Caramel Roll Ride has been around for 25 years, and the Lady Slipper Nature Ride and the Caramel Apple Rides have been around for 13 years each. Please check it out and see how you can be a part of the trails association.

Hello ... I see lots of people out enjoying the Lake Wobegon Trail. We've been out quite a bit on the Avon segment of the trails.

Glad to see everyone getting out and using the trail... however, I have a favor to ask.....

1. I love seeing all the dogs on the trail... If you take your dog out for a walk on the trail PLEASE pick up after your dog. 😕 I see a lot of dog p**p on the trail edges. Throw it off to the side at least 6-8 feet then it's not noticeable and can decay out of sight. Or make sure your dog does it's duty 6-8 feet off the trail.😀 Also if you put the p**p in a bag... don't forget to take it with you! Leaving a bag is even worse than leaving the p**p!

2. Always have your dog under control. I know you want to let your dog run... that's part of the point of taking it out... so it can get some meaningful exercise! 😄 It should be on a leash and kept close to you as soon as you come close to someone else using the trail. It should not be jumping on others on the trail. You may trust your dog and it may be perfectly safe however, some people are very leery of dogs and especially little children can be easily frightened by a dog that runs up to them.😟 Enjoy taking your dog on the trail... but make sure others are can enjoy their trail experience too!

Here's a link to the rules of the trail...

Enjoy the trail and thanks for being considerate of others!

Happy Trails! 😃
