First timers, we were very impressed on a Monday, midday with gorgeous weather.
I was traveling north from Hastings and the trail was closed at the lock. Made for a short trip.
Although quite busy for a Sunday morning (which is a good thing to see the trail being used!) it was a wonderful paved trail. We also did the St Croix Loop section and really enjoyed the views of the river. As we were new to this trail, we loved all the signage explaining the historical references of the area/trail. Very appreciative of the clean bathrooms! Super nice trail we would definitely do again if in the area.
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.
The trail is incomplete in several sections, and route you through some neighborhoods and along some busier roads. There is also a construction project by Coons Dam without a very good reroute available. (Summer 2026) but we look forward to writing her again.
The southern end is a bit rough; the middle is not marked very well; and the northern end for ollows the road. But it’s a great link to the Rush Creek Trail, has some beautiful views, and is shaded part of the way.
One of the best trails to ride in Minnesota with stunning views. Rode it all the way to Redwing from the Cannon Falls Trailhead, had lunch at the Scarlet Kitchen and Bar and rode back. Long day
This could be a really nice trail but UTVs have destroyed it. The trail surface is rutted and chewed up, and it's dangerous for pedestrian or bike traffic unless you go early morning weekdays.
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.
