There are two scenic state bike trails in Southeast Minnesota. The Root River State Trail and the Harmony-Preston Valley State Trail. Each connects the Root River Trail Towns. This 60-mile paved trail network meanders along the Root River amid 300-foot bluffs. Access the trail directly at multiple entry points located on our Resort property. Preston and Lanesboro are about 5 miles from the Old barn Campground.

It follows the Root River and Watson Creek, and accuracy is key due to challenging tee shots from bluffs and well-protected greens for approach shots. Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy playing this picturesque course with two signature holes - Hole 10, a peninsula par 3, and Hole 16, a long par 5 with a bluff wall and trees from tee to green.
