The Juno Trail Trailway was identified in the Lakeville Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan in the early 1990s. The City applied for an Outdoor Recreation Grant offered by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in 1995. At the time, the trail was a gravel road with varying widths, the trailway project would include the acquisition of various parcels that utilized the trail as a public access road. The public access road would be closed and replaced with a 12-foot wide multipurpose bituminous trail starting at County Road 64 that would follow the Lake Marion shoreline with access through Casperson Park. The trailhead would consist of a parking area, picnic facilities and informational signage. With funding from the 1994 Park Bond Referendum, the City would match funding awarded ($50,000) through the DNR grant. The estimated 20-acre property was zoned for high density residential prior to being acquired by the City and becoming the Juno Trail. Much of the property has been conserved for passive recreational usage, the trail is roughly 5 miles long. The project commenced in 1997, various improvement projects have been completed over the years.
