Our rich history and quality of life make
Madelia an ideal location to live and work.
The City of Madelia places a high priority on recreational
opportunities and tourism. A 4.5 mile Cross-Country
Ski/Hiking Trail is being developed that traverses the
beautiful Watonwan River. This trail features an observation
deck that overlooks the river, 4 bridge spans including a
historic truss bridge, a student nature area project, and
access to the Watona Park system.
The trail was developed using local and regional resources.
The City of Madelia and the Madelia Municipal Light Plant
provided the materials and cleared the path. Woodchips were
spread as a base by the Madelia Boy Scouts. |
4.5 Miles of hiking and
cross-country skiing on the beautiful Riverside Trial. |
|
The Observation Deck was a joint project
between the Madelia Municipal Light and Power Plant and the
Industrial Education class at the Madelia High School. This
project was coordinated by the class and the Madelia
Development Corporation, and is an excellent addition to the
trails and waterways in Madelia. |
