New Haven Road

I would rate New Haven Rd as another 'Classic Gravel Grind' in Olmsted County.  This is a great road to link Rochester and Pine Island via gravel grinding.  Access is found just off the Douglas Trail at the intersection of Co Rd 3.  As you round the first bend in the road you are greeted with nice climb that kicks up to almost 8% and rises 150 ft.  From there the road undulates its way to Pine Island crisscrossing the Douglas Trail multiple times.  

Intersection of New Haven Rd and Co Rd 31.

Looking back at Co Rd 3.

This is my first post utilizing Gravelmap.  If you haven't seen this site yet, it is fantastic.  Very easy to use and will be the primary resource for finding Gravel Grinds anywhere and everywhere.
