I’ve ran on this trail many times and like it. But I wish there were a couple porta potties. That’s about my only complaint! Also there’s quite a few mosquitos in the summer, so don’t plan to stop during your run or bike.
TV Rode this trail from Hopkins to Carver and back, a total of 40.2 miles. While the trail is mostly smooth, it is a mixed bag of Surfaces ranging from brand new asphalt to gravel/dirt. Some of it is perfect, some of it is neglected, cracked and bumpy asphalt with weeds growing up through it. Based upon the name I expected the trail to be more scenic than it was with the first half of the trail running along the light rail line and through industrial and residential areas. The second half wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t very dramatic. If you do decide to ride this trail, I’d recommend using GPS on your cell phone as the signage is lacking and it’s easy to make a wrong turn onto an adjacent trail
Elm Creek has always been a fun place for us to ride and it’s close to where we are. The trails are maintained nicely a lot of variance in wooded to prairie, rides by the water, there are small hills and curves. We don’t see deer a lot but they are out there. We’ve seen them a few times if we want to put on 20 miles that’s just about a loop around. There are many off ramps that will put you into Champlin and Anoka neighborhood trails as well. On the north end there’s a BMX track that seems pretty lengthy. We did a piece of it with our E bikes but it’s not really designed for that and especially not for 70-year-old people on E bikes, but it was an adventure if you add in the playground and the swimming area and the frisbee golf you can easily spend a day out there
This trail was horrible for bicycling This was the most unpleasant bike ride I’ve ever been on. It was completely unmarked and difficult to find. It was all dirt with ATV tracks and ruts throughout. We turned around 2 miles in, and never saw any asphalt in that 2 miles. It was only dirt and gravel. I would totally NOT recommend for bicycling.
Nice trail with pretty views and flat riding for the most part.
Great trail! Connects to other well-paved regional and local trails. Need more exploring to do.
Yesterday we rode this very bumpy trail. Part of the Cedar Lake trail is closed and hopefully there’s some resurfacing going on in the area. Still busy on a Sunday afternoon but in need of new paving!
Started at north end, Pine Point Park and did 11 miles south to turn around. Couple of knucklehead kids, playing around between paved and equestrian trail, so was irritated by them, but the 3M (Monday midday mower) was worse. One worker with an oversized tractor to drag his mower around and litter the trail with multiple chewed up shredded branches for several miles was not fun. Washington County should be able to do a better job than that.
We like this trail. It’s not crowded and it’s covered in shade and you receive the breeze from the water. The only thing which could be better if it went all the way around versus stopping and having come back.
Rode the Sam Morgan Trail today (8/3/25) from the I35E Bridge east to downtown St.Paul. The trail reconstruction is now complete! Barriers are only up for wrapping up some loose ends. Beautiful wide new asphalt trail to Randolph St. Enjoy!
Went on the Troutbrook Trail today. … Not advised. There’s a picture of an overpass bridge under photos. When we psssed that there’s a homeless encampment. The only redeeming part of this trail was there were two squad cars parked at the end of it so I felt a little safer. Not a place to bring kids!!!
