Description
This trail departs from the Quarry Trail, goes south to the end of a peninsula in the St. Croix River near Rock Island, and then returns to the Quarry Trail a little inland on the west side of a large marsh. The views of the limestone cliffs across the river are amazing, as is the view of more cliffs and Rock Island from the end of the peninsula.
