Skated from Faribault to a little west is Morristown. The trail is in good condition and fairly smooth.
Note: The south end of the route between Chaska and Carver has been rerouted. The TrailLink map is no longer accurate. The trail now runs through downtown Chaska and will cross the Minnesota River at the new bridge. Signs are scarce in this section.
Apparently there’s an initiative to repair the west half of this trail pending legislative approval. We rode this trail from Stillwater yesterday and the couple miles on either side of 694 was very hard on my bike and body with all the cracks. We turned back at north St. Paul - too bumpy -hopefully repairs can be done on this beautiful tree canopied trail.
Rode past The Stone Bridge, took the Cedar trail and merged into the Kenilworth trail. Wasn't paying attention, thought I was on the N Cedar Trail, but missed the turnoff. The new paved trail looks great and brings to the doorstep of the lakes area. SO many trees were planted next to the lite rail system.
So thankful for the investment.
This trail is really quite nice. I’ve written it now for the last 10 years and have marvel that the evolution and changes that occur along the trail. I saw the review about post riots, that’s largely BS. I rode the trail almost every single day during those days and never had a single bit of hassle. Fact, the people were very nice. Of course they had loaded the target had very nice tents and food, but as a hole they were very nice. Currently the trail is having some work done in the middle of it to bypass some bridgework, but that is no big deal.
The portion of the trail near Cedar Lake has been in pretty good shape, except for a few asphalt heaves, as the LRT trail is getting done. The access has gotten better and as a whole, it is a nice. Trail, like most of these trails it’s flat, does head out west, which is kind of fun.
I’ve been biking and running this trail for 40 years. It’s a nice smooth ride from Minnehaha Falls north. As a hole the trail is pretty good, it has a few narrow spots but as Citi trails go, it’s actually in pretty good shape.
A great place to bring kids. Nice walk around the lake good bike lanes.
there’s been a lot of improvements to this trail. I suggest you ignore any reviews pre-2025. Note that the map provided in this app is out of date. You can do the full Grand Round loop riding on dedicated bike paths 98% of the route.
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”.
