Beautiful views of the lake. Rode twice to get 10 miles!
The lake trail connects to the entire Minneapolis biker trails, including Minnehaha Falls and the River Road. Being from the South Metro, I park in the south side of the lake. Easy access to Cedar as well as clean restroom facilities. Avenue. Plus, Nokomis has a beach/Conession stand,
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.
Rode Mankato to Fairabault. Around mile 35 part of the trail had collapsed, but people were still getting through. Overall trail was in excellent shape, except for one area in the State Park and another just west of that. We were on road bikes and loved the trail.
This is a beautiful trail through some nice foliage and neighborhoods. The trail was clearly marked, however, was pretty bumpy.
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.
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.
from shakopee to chaska no longer underwater but 2 trees down across the trail
It's a nice, well-maintained trail that goes around the lake.
Road along the trail today and it was fabulous through Hopkins and ST Louis Park to the start of MSP. Light rail work being completed and the trail is in excellent condition. It was fun to see the light rail stations along the way.
This could be a really nice trail. I was trying to connect from the Minnesota Valley Trail to the Lake Minnetonka Trail and thought this would be a nicer ride than taking Jonathan Carver Parkway. Unfortunately, signage is non-existent along this trail and it splits at multiple places so staying on the trail requires a lot of stopping and checking your map. On the positive side, it has a lot of potential and the gravel sections were fun.
