Highway 75 King of Trails Scenic Byway

Highway 75 King of Trails Scenic Byway Nationally, it runs north-south from Minnesota to Texas! Originally, Highway 75 was a Native American trail route used for shelter, food gathering, and trade.

International Historic Highway 75 known as the "King of Trails" is a Minnesota State Scenic Byway located near the western border of the state running the entire length of Minnesota. Pioneers followed this route, marketing farm produce and delivering mail. As the automobile was developed, the trail improved, and in 1917 the road extending from Winnipeg, Canada to the Gulf of Mexico was designated

"The King of Trails." In 1918, communities along "The King of Trails" formed the KT Association and, by 1925, travelers from all over the country began exploring the "King of Trails" in their cars. The U.S. Government began numbering highways in 1926, and the KT became US 75. Throughout the years, Highway 75 has undergone major reconstruction and some rerouting for safer and speedier travel. In 2001, the Minnesota Legislature designated Highway 75 as "The Historic King of Trails." Later in 2004, "The King of Trails" was designated as the newest of the 22 Minnesota State Scenic Byways. Today travelers can still enjoy peaceful vistas, fascinating historical sites, quaint towns, colorful festivals, and warm hospitality along the lakes, rivers and trails of remarkable Highway 75.
