Row River Trail
Directory

City of Cottage Grove

If you can rhyme with cow you can say Row and it was because of cows that Row River got its name. It was named "Row" after a dispute between two men battling over cattle and sheep grazing rights during settlement of the valley in the early 1850's. The disagreement ran so deep that one man lost his life during this quarrel or "row."


The Row River Trail has been designated as a National Recreation Trail
