The extension of the Lake Wobegon Trail from St. Joseph to Waite Park opened July 12.
Riders who took part in a ride on opening day offered their opinions.
Ann Heitkamp
St. Cloud
“I’m excited that we now have the trail. I live in St. Cloud but work in St. Joseph at Riff City Guitar. It will be nice to bike to work.”
Rick Schultz
St. Joseph Mayor
“It’s outstanding. I can hardly believe the extension finally happened because I thought for a long time it would just never get done. All the paperwork to get it done! I’m glad it’s here now. I ride the trail a lot.”
Linda Borgerding
Avon
“I love it. I’ve use the Wobegon Trail just about every single day, even all the way to Albany. Sometimes I walk on the trail, other times I bike on it.”
Loren Wiener
Sauk Centre
“Oh yes, I like it. I’ve ridden the trail many times back and forth from Sauk Centre to St. Joseph. The new extension to Waite Park is a good addition.”
Nathan Heitkamp
St. Cloud
“Yeah, I like it. I like to ride my bike on the trail.”
