The Martin Slough Trail is a paved trail that connects downtown Minden to downtown Gardnerville. We parked at Seeman Ranch Park and walked along a section heading toward Gardnerville. On our Sunday afternoon there, we saw many bikes/ebikes on the trail as well as families out for the afternoon pushing strollers or walking dogs (must be leashed). The trail winds around the Seeman Ranch Park fishing pond through the marshy wetlands, along a creek and around small neighborhood farms and neighborhood housing. You can see the beautiful Carson mountain range in the distance as well as spot wildlife along the way.
Shade is limited along this trail so be sure to bring water, wear sunscreen, and bring a hat. There are restrooms located near the parking lot at Seeman Ranch Park and there is a shade pavilion with picnic tables and BBQ grills near the fishing pond. read more
