This trail is gravel and starts just down the road from Trollhaugen ski area in Dresser, WI with parking about a quarter mile down the road from the trailhead at Lotus Lake Park. The trail is mostly wooded and you’ll pass through three small enclaves along the way with the destination being Amery, WI which has a nice covered pavilion with many picnic tables, facilities and parking. Recommend gravel or mountain bike tires as the gravel gets loose at times. Overall, maintenance is good and the trail relatively smooth. I’ll be back…
Beautifully paved bike trail over the waters and thru the woods. We rode from St. Bonafacious to Wayzata and back. Very smooth and cool morning ride. This trail is very popular as we met up with numerous walkers and bikers alike. Highly recommend especially if you’re a beginner or a fan of a level trail without hills.
We rode from the Cedar Nichols Trailhead to the 77 Bridge and back. I hope someone eventually posts the path on the 77 bridge. We were too freaked out by traffic sounds to even go look. The abundant birds on this trail are a treat! It will fun when they finish the next segment north of this trailhead.
The Dog Park is AWESOME.... I go so often that I am getting bored of it. Does anyone know of a similar Dog Park with Wooded Trails.
The trail between Luck and Frederic is all loose gravel and rocks. Very soft. Maybe okay for a fat tire bike. May 29, 2025.
Fun smooth trail. Nicely paved. Great for biking. I would love to go back!!
The trail name icons take too much room on the screen and cause the screen to jump and recenter.
Hiked the entire south side and north on the right side of the park. Many different birds calling and singing. Oddly still no peeps from frogs or roads. Found some junk off the horse trail, crew needs to clean it up
We rode from Hinkley to Duluth one day, stayed in Duluth 2 nights then returned back to Hinkley. This trail is very pretty and we appreciated the 2 areas with park pavilions next to the trail that included electricity and bathroom options.
Wonderful sunny fall day. Joined the north section of the trail at 494 bridge and headed south. A number of new/repaired path areas made the ride smooth going. Great sights with leaves fallen.
Thank you so much for the clean and safe bathrooms in the Pine Bend Bluff parking lot.
I was surprised to discover at the end of the trail was brand new pavement that connected the north and south sections together. The new paved trail was wide and included a tunnel. The trail brings you into the Bison area of the park.
Thank you Dakota County leadership.
My ride ended up with delicious lunch downtown Hastings.
5 minutes into ride got lost ! No signage. City streets are confusing route. Waste of time today.
