Friends of Gandy Dancer State Trail

About the Gandy Dancer State Trail
The Gandy Dancer connects the communities of St. Croix Falls, Centuria, Milltown, Luck, Frederic, Lewis, Siren, Webster and Danbury. Constructed on a former railroad corridor, the 47 mile trail is generally level. The surface is hard crushed limestone. There are over 340 geocaches along the trail between St. Croix Falls and Danbury. The trail is open to pedestrian use Spring thru Fall and is motorized in winter.

We are dedicated to your health & wellness by:

• Improving the quality of life for residents & visitors of all ages and abilities
• Offering a safe means of outdoor activity away from motorized activity
• Providing a wide variety of recreational opportunities and events
• Promoting local businesses and healthy tourism industry

Trails and open spaces need people like you to protect and promote them. 

If you hike, bicycle, live adjacent to or frequent the trail… if you enjoy the nature programs with bird, plant and wildlife experts … if you enjoy the trail’s scenic value and rural communities … if you want to support the health benefits that hundreds of school children and people of all ages enjoy … please support the Friends of Gandy Dancer!
