The Shooting Star State Trail in southern Minnesota could be coined the “Superstar Rail-Trail” for the beneficial impact it has had on the small communities along its route.

“We’re a combined effort of four small towns: Le Roy, Adams, Rose Creek, and Taopi,” says Becky Hartwig, president of Prairie Visions, a community group that supports the rail-trail. “These towns are all under 1,000 people. We started in 1992 looking for ways to get economic development in our towns and came up with a bike trail as the most possible and probable idea.”
