Shooting Star State Trail


The Shooting Star State Trail is a multi-use recreational trail in southeastern Minnesota, USA. It currently runs between the towns of LeRoy and Austin, to Lyle.
The route largely follows a leg of Minnesota State Highway 56, which was designated the Shooting Star Wildflower and Historic Route Scenic Byway. Both trail and byway are named for the shooting star, a wildflower. The trail was built on the roadbed of the former Milwaukee Road.
