Dakota Rail Regional Trail

A great fall ride

October, 2024 by rmtrsws6g4

Rode this from Wayzata to Waconia and back. Well maintained, great views of a variety of environments (prairie, suburban, marsh, lake). I would recommend taking a side tour of the Six Mile Marsh Prairie Trail. Well worth the detour.

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

Rode for the first time from Wayzata to St. Bonifacious and back. One small detour but it was well marked. Low traffic and lovely views of the lakes and fields. Would recommend a bite to eat at the Bistro in St. Bonifacious.

Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail

It’s the trail transition on Hwy 62 that had been my problem.

Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail

some very nice sections

September, 2024 by fayeanhorn

Finally rode from Hopkins to Chaska, I’ve been on trail a few times before but keep getting off the trail. Very poor signage at the tricky trail changes. I’m speaking particularly of bridge on Hwy 212. That being said now that I’ve from figured it out thanks to TrailLink. I will definitely ride again. Yes there are short sections that you ride along a busy highway, but the majority is wooded and very scenic. The crushed rock is very hard packed so easier to ride than some crushed rock trails.

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

Great trail out of Wayzata

August, 2024 by askrens

Beautiful ride leading out of Wayzata. Lovely homes and lake views. About mile 7 there was major construction and the trail was detoured about 0.25 miles. The western end is much flatter and rural.

Lake Wobegon Trail

WOW

August, 2024 by mwskibike

We started at the west end of this trail where it connects to the Central Lakes Trail and rode east about 6 miles. Trail has recently been repaved, so it was SMOOTH!!! Wish we had not done the last 10 miles of bumpy Central Lakes as we were tired and it was middle of the day and quite warm. There is little shade at the west end of the trail and no water available, so bring plenty. The trail was recently repaved - the dirt has not been built up on the sides, so be careful you don't run off the edge - it will be a BUMP! Wish we had the energy to go farther!

Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail

Nice but bumpy

August, 2024 by chondlik

This is a beautiful trail through some nice foliage and neighborhoods. The trail was clearly marked, however, was pretty bumpy.

Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail

nice trail

August, 2024 by fayeanhorn

I finally rode this entire trail from Hopkins to Victoria. It is very pretty trail. I rated it a 4 because there are more busy intersections without warning lights than I like. The drivers are very nice about stopping even when they’re not required to but you never know which one is going to stop. That said there are underpasses and lights for the higher traffic area. I will probably do it again because I can ride there from my home but maybe not on a weekend.

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

love this trail.

August, 2024 by fayeanhorn

We have just gotten into biking this summer so there are lots of trails we’d like to visit. But we keep coming back to Dakota Rail, it’s a short drive from where we live and it’s beautiful. Scenery varies from lakes, wetlands, woods and farmland. There are a couple of miles of really rough asphalt but worth it to us. We stopped to eat at Knuckleheads in Mayer and had a great burger for a very reasonable price. They do not have a bike rack though.

Minnesota Valley State Trail

from shakopee to chaska no longer underwater but 2 trees down across the trail

Great Northern Trail

Good Trail

July, 2024 by kyjoe80

Mostly a flat trail from Elk River to Zimmerman. You can make it almost 20 miles if you bike from Elk River to the Smokehouse on Hwy 4 in Zimmerman. Take the outside routes in Woodlands Trails Park and keep going around the Elk River Golf course. Early mornings and later evenings you may see both turkey and deer along the routes. It's an enjoyable easy route and I'm looking forward to the expansion north.

Lake Wobegon Trail

Recommend!

July, 2024 by xgqrms2jbn

I rode from Albany to West Union. I wish there were long trails like this where I live. Very well maintained and smooth. I hope to take the north leg to the covered bridge also.
