The Harmony-Preston Valley
State Trail starts right behind
Harmony’s Visitor Center. It
connects Harmony to the Root
River Trail system with over 60
miles of recreational trail! This DNR-maintained trail allows
biking, walking, cross-country skiing, hiking and rollerblading.
The trail travels through lovely countryside and amongst the
wildlife, passing through a variety of wooded areas, pastoral
farm sites, rolling hills and near spring-fed Camp Creek.
The trail head features a picnic shelter, playground, parking
lot and visitor center.
Cave Exploration
Harmony is located within the Driftless Area of the Upper
Midwest. This region was not covered by glaciers during the most
recent ice age over 12,000 years ago. As a result, the landscape in
our region is unique from the rest of the state. The countryside is
rich with bluffs, rolling hills, springs, creeks, sinkholes and caves.
Two main caves are Niagara Cave, just south of Harmony, and
Mystery Cave, located in nearby Forestville State Park.
Niagara Cave is consistently rated one of the top-10 caves in the
United States.
