Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail

Wonderful ride! Highly recommend

June, 2025 by jeanne.eggert

What a treat this trail was! An unbelievable amount of boardwalk riding, through the trees, over the marshes, over highways and river. It definitely is a hidden gem and one you should check out! We thoroughly enjoyed this one. ¿

Minnesota River Greenway

Great Birdwatching!

June, 2025 by kspaulson

We rode from the Cedar Nichols Trailhead to the 77 Bridge and back. I hope someone eventually posts the path on the 77 bridge. We were too freaked out by traffic sounds to even go look. The abundant birds on this trail are a treat! It will fun when they finish the next segment north of this trailhead.

Battle Creek Regional Park Trail

DOG PARK

May, 2025 by jmtorkelson

The Dog Park is AWESOME.... I go so often that I am getting bored of it. Does anyone know of a similar Dog Park with Wooded Trails.

Gandy Dancer Trail (Southern Section)

Trail surface Luck to Frederic

May, 2025 by ajbenoit17

The trail between Luck and Frederic is all loose gravel and rocks. Very soft. Maybe okay for a fat tire bike. May 29, 2025.

Brown's Creek State Trail (Willard Munger State Trail)

Fun!

May, 2025 by julie.hanson03

Fun smooth trail. Nicely paved. Great for biking. I would love to go back!!

Bryant Lake Regional Park Trail

Icons dominate the screen

April, 2025 by jamberg565

The trail name icons take too much room on the screen and cause the screen to jump and recenter.

Elm Creek Park Reserve Trails

April, 2025 by markscofield02

Hiked the entire south side and north on the right side of the park. Many different birds calling and singing. Oddly still no peeps from frogs or roads. Found some junk off the horse trail, crew needs to clean it up

Matthew Lourey State Trail (Willard Munger State Trail)

We rode from Hinkley to Duluth one day, stayed in Duluth 2 nights then returned back to Hinkley. This trail is very pretty and we appreciated the 2 areas with park pavilions next to the trail that included electricity and bathroom options.

Mississippi River Regional Trail (Dakota County)

Trail is completed!!!!

November, 2024 by christopherolley

Wonderful sunny fall day. Joined the north section of the trail at 494 bridge and headed south. A number of new/repaired path areas made the ride smooth going. Great sights with leaves fallen.

Thank you so much for the clean and safe bathrooms in the Pine Bend Bluff parking lot.

I was surprised to discover at the end of the trail was brand new pavement that connected the north and south sections together. The new paved trail was wide and included a tunnel. The trail brings you into the Bison area of the park.

Thank you Dakota County leadership.

My ride ended up with delicious lunch downtown Hastings.

Rice Creek North Regional Trail

5 minutes into ride got lost ! No signage. City streets are confusing route. Waste of time today.

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.

St. Croix River Crossing Loop Trail

nice for walking

October, 2024 by arath1253

Can be windy on the bridges, don’t lose your head gear. I prefer to walk against traffic heading into Wisconsin from 36, and decline into Stillwater from Wisconsin.
