Winchell Trail follows the bluffs above the Mississippi River Gorge in Minneapolis, connecting sections of the parkway system managed by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The trail is named for Newton Horace Winchell, Minnesota's first state geologist, who studied the gorge's rock formations in the late 19th century.
