Nice picnic area rest stop and possibly trail access point (not sure how you drive into it, being that the fairgrounds are usually closed to the public)

Nice to see signs saying this is part of the Mill Town State Trail, can't wait for it to go from Dundas through Northfield to Cannon Falls. Which will then take us to Red Wing and onto the Hay Creek trail.

It's always hard to tell if this parking lot is allowed to be driven in to, because they have all kinds of signs saying "Don't Drive In Here" since it's also an access point of the fairground. But still there is a nice picnic table and it's quiet.
