Central Lakes State Trail

Diamond in the rough

August, 2024 by askrens

Trail needs some tlc—new paving and not just bandaids. Some of the vistas are truly beautiful and the trail can be fun to ride. Did the entire trail south to north.

Heartland State Trail

A perfect ride

August, 2024 by 8xshdh9bmw

We had a great day on the trail, from Dorset to Nevis. Exactly the type of ride we needed after our other summer activities including walks and swimming. Stopped at the Iron Horse for a late lunch. Met fellow travelers, including a woman doing a 100 mile bike trek!

Itasca State Park Bike Trail

Lots of inclines…

August, 2024 by 8xshdh9bmw

…but a gorgeous trail. We were headed to the Headwaters, on the bike trail. Just after mile marker 1, we cut our losses, and biked back to the Douglas Lodge, and then made our way to the Headwaters. There are several entrances into the Park, with carting distances to the Headwaters.

Central Lakes State Trail

OK ride

Today we drove to Alexandria, picked up the trail there and rode east to where it connects with the Lake Wobegon Trail. Again, bumpy ride.

Central Lakes State Trail

OK ride

August, 2024 by mwskibike

First time on this trail. Started from Ashby resort, just east of Ashby, Minnesota and rode west for 8 miles. Like that the trail is wide so you can safely ride next to someone and talk. However, there are stretches that are rough from cracks in pavement and root heaves. Sunny Saturday afternoon and only saw 6 other people of the trail. I did ride over a snake that I didn't see in time.

Fargo Mickelson/Tricorn Bike Path

Beautiful Trail!

July, 2024 by nathan70

We really enjoyed riding along this gem of a trail in Fargo, ND. The majority of the trail follows the Red River of the North through a series of parks and is really quite scenic. And my dad got to join the #SaveTheBestForLast club when visiting North Dakota as his 50th state. For more details, check out our YouTube video: https://youtu.be/QIS_4B_8Jg8?si=U1gaRzb3BbdFfMqC.

Best trail ever . Clean

Itasca State Park Bike Trail

Itasca Park trail

June, 2024 by bethmcc

Was a beautiful trail to ride. Only small amounts of bumps on the asphalt, which were well marked with spray paint. It was riding through the forest and many large old white pines. There were hills but it was fun. At the north end of the trail is the Mississippi Headwaters. As well as a cafe and gift shop which was nice. We unfortunately forgot our wallets - so no ice cream :(. Also the beautiful visitor center on the south end of the trail was really informative. We were quite impressed.

Central Lakes State Trail

Nice ride for all

September, 2023 by thekauz

The leaves were turning colors and the weather cool when I rode. Black top trail in good condition. It’s a combination of open areas and rides through tree lined sections. It would be a great ride year round for the property prepared.

Heartland State Trail

Love this Trail!!

September, 2023 by mcmlrj

This is a beautiful, easy , fun trail! There are many great spots to stop and explore or eat. Dorset and Nevis are great places to eat along the route. The Northern end of the trail follows along Leech Lake which was very beautiful too! I would highly recommend it!

New bike trail! Nicely done

September, 2023 by mcmlrj

There is one section not completed from Highway 108 through Maplewood State Park. It will be really nice when that is completed. Few sections where the terrain is difficult but for the most part very nice trail!
