Minnesota River Valley Birding Trail
Regions and Loops Overview

Below are the regions and loops that comprise the Minnesota River Valley Birding Trail. Some regions are subdivided into two loops. These have a "Regional Overview" that contains a map and written description of the region. The loop page contains more detailed maps and the sites. Regions with only one loop have the overview and sites on the same page. Sites that are marked on the maps, may be worth a little longer stay that sites that are only described, but not mapped.

Maps are best view with a screen resolution of at least 600X800 with the full screen available. When printing, use "Landscape" rather than "Portrait." New feature: on overview maps, click on site to go to "Loop" map. On Loop map, click on site to go to text about site.
