Anybody ever been on the Gandy Dancer trail?
Hi, I'm wondering if anybody here has ever been on the Gandy Dancer trail in MN. It starts in Danbury, WI and then cuts over into MN for a while. I'd love to go up there and try it (I'm in Forest, Lake) but I don't know much about it and the online map is pretty ambiguous. Does anybody have any pics of it?

A quick google search brought up all kinds of pics. Looks like a hiking, biking trail. And it runs on an old RR grade so it would be somewhat straight and boring to be. And something you could not take your jeep on.

It is a nice relaxing ride....there is no technical aspect of the ride, during the summer you could take a Corolla down the trail with no worries. It is a beautiful scenic ride though. And yes you can take your Jeep down it on the MN portion of the trail excluding the southern most five miles.
