The Sioux Vista sand dunes are a favorite spot along the Minnesota River for several who frequent the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area, which stretches along the river between Shakopee and Belle Plaine. Staff writer Katrina Styx explored the river by biking and walking the
state park trail that follows the river between the two cities. Read
more about what can be found along the river in the Minnesota Valley
State Recreation Area in the June 25 issue of the Jordan Independent.
