OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Barn Bluff Details
Barn Bluff
Access on East 5th Street
Enjoying hiking on this beautiful bluff right along the Mississippi River. We recommend hiking up the South Trail. That will take you the West Outlook. As you’re heading back down the South Trail, you will see a trail that veers off to the left. That is called the Prairie Trail. This trail takes you to the opposite side of the bluff to the East Outlook. The East Outlook is a dead end, so you will have to head back towards the South Trail. The South Trail will take you back to the head off the trail on 5th Street. Round trip, the trail is 2.5 miles long.
