The Gateway  Brown's Creek trail is the recreational jewel of the East Metro Area of the Twin Cities. It is heavily used by thousands of people year-round. The former Soo Line rail bed, now paved, runs 18 miles from St. Paul, MN to Pine Point Park in Stillwater, MN. with a branch of the 5.9 mile Brown's Creek Trail connecting to Stillwater and the St Croix River.  The Gateway-Brown's Creek Trail is a multi-use trail providing biking, rollerblading, running, walking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing to trail users year round.



Gateway Brown's Creek Trail Association (GBCTA) supports the trail in many ways:

  • We donate approximately 1600 volunteer hours every year collecting trash, removing graffiti, helping with special projects,
    advocating for the trail at the State Capitol, and more!
  • Your membership dollars provide amenities and benefits for the trails, including:

    . $3230 to help the DNR purchase a leaf and debris blower
    . $1000 for Brown's Creek Trail general facilities

    . $500 for mile marker signs along the Gateway
