My favorite to go to with my dogs. There is never a lot of people and easy terrain.
This was once an amazing, peaceful, scenic trail but it’s been taken over by kids on motorized bikes. I used be use the trail daily but the traffic is so bad, it’s no longer a trail but a highway for “motorcycles”.
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
This was the first time on this trail for our group of three. We started at the Bryant Lake dog park, which was a nice little ride in itself. The weather was gorgeous, a little cool, but bright and sunny. The trail conditions were good to great. At least half of the leaves were down, which made it great for deer watching. We jumped one massive buck with a huge rack. Then a little further down the trail on the opposite side was another smaller buck. Our trip down the trail brought us to Chaska, On our return trip was when we saw the two younger deer snacking on an “after Halloween” pumpkin. I’d recommend this trail to anyone who’s looking to see a little wildlife. This ride was a perfect “almost” end of season ride
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
We’re back! This is one of our faves … smooth and level trail thru the woods, beautiful neighborhoods and stunning lake views! We’ll be back again.
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 ride the trail a few times a year. It's gotten so bumpy in places that it's not a comfortable ride anymore. Redwing to Welch bad. Cannon to Welch almost as bad. Could be one of the nicest trails in the state if the surface was overlayed.
