Description:
The paved Cedar Lake Trail links Minneapolis's Warehouse District to the Southwest Regional LRT Trail in Hopkins. The trail is mostly urban at the eastern terminus but as it heads southwest, it passes a more pleasing landscape through Minneapolis's wooded suburbs. The trail passes by its namesake lake and also links many neighborhood parks along the way. The Cedar Lake Trail provides access to Target Field and Target Field rail station.

Great ride to the river.
By clovis5000 in June, 2011
The new extension of the cedar lake trail to the river is complete.
Beautifully paved, with painted lane dividers, lights, and fenced on both sides through downtown to keep out the riff raff.(there are a couple entrance/exits to the downtown area)
Whether you're riding your bike to a twins game, or heading down to the stone arch bridge, the new extension is a nice, level grade, fun ride for the whole family.
Flat and somewhat scenic
By Carol in May, 2002
"This trail is mostly flat and the western part is scenic. The eastern side (toward downtown) isn't as pretty, but the trail is in good shape and for part of it the traffic is divided by a grassy center island. You can also cut over to the lakes and go around Isles, Calhoun and Harriet."
