Rustic Road 89

Winding through the bluffs of the Red Cedar River, this 5.3-mile paved route follows 410th Street and 420th Street between County P and 370th Avenue, tracing the path of the Red Cedar State Trail, a former railroad bed now popular for recreation. The journey offers scenic river views, wooded stretches, and a hidden gem along the way—Devil’s Punch Bowl.

This 2.9-acre scientific area is a glacier-carved miniature canyon featuring a seasonal waterfall, exposed rock formations, and a unique ecosystem. A visit here feels like stepping into another world, with trails leading to breathtaking overlooks and down into the bowl itself. Whether exploring the area’s natural beauty or soaking in its quiet mystique, the Devil’s Punch Bowl is a must-see
