    Tips

    April 4, 2023

    The Minor Park Trailhead is a great access point for trails along Blue River. The park, which used to be a private farm, has tennis courts, picnic tables, and river access.

    Minor Park is along the historic Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, and California Trails. This is where the first major river crossing took place for westward travelers – keep an eye out for historic signposts and wagon ruts.

    For more information on the historical significance of Minor Park, see the National Park website: nps.gov/places/000/minor-park.htm
