Luce Line Trail
The Luce Line Trail is a state-established trail maintained by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. It stretches 63 miles from the western metro suburb of Plymouth to the small town of cosmos in west-central Minnesota. The trail runs on a former railroad line and is available for biking, hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and skiing.
The
Luce Line Trail was originally built as the Electric Short Line Railway
from downtown Minneapolis to west central Minnesota by Colonel William
Luce. In 1927, it reached its western most point at Gluek, MN, which was referred to by employees as “the coast”. The trail was officially abandoned by the railroad in 1972 and was taken over by the DNR for a recreational in 1976. The Luce Line Trail is a preserved strip of countryside with many varieties of plants and animals.
