Sandrock Cliffs Trail

Length: 5 miles, 4 loops
Difficulty: easy hiking, beginner to intermediate skiing
Nearest town: Grantsburg, Wisconsin

This loop trail follows the river closely, then turns onto a ridge providing a variety of terrain and scenery. The highlight of the trail is the sandstone cliffs located in a river side channel. The story of this area begins 600 million years ago when warm seas retreated from the region, laying down sediments which later became sandstone. Glacial meltwater carved the ridge into cliffs.

The trail is groomed for cross-country skiing. Trail maps are available at the Marshland Education Center and at trail heads.
