Agassiz Recreational Trail is a 53-mile multi-use rail trail in northwest Minnesota, USA, between Crookston and Ulen. Hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and ATV riding are allowed on the naturally surfaced trail. The trail is owned by Clay, Norman and Polk counties. Representatives from each county serving on a joint powers board operate the trail.
The Agassiz Recreational Trail was converted from an abandoned rail bed running parallel to state highways 32 and 102. It passes through the following towns (in order from south to north):
The trail runs through sparsely wooded rural farmland. It crosses a number of rivers and creeks along its route, including the Sand Hill, Wild Rice and South Branch Wild Rice Rivers, and Mashaug Creek.
