Rode from mile 90 to 85 and back on a cross country car trip. A very pleasant break and a trail I would like to come back to and ride more.
Fairly well maintained. Went 5 miles out of Hastings and back with our son. Goes right along the Mississippi River. Lots of birds to watch and wasn't crowded despite being a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
If you want to ride this, do it from North to South. The poor condition of the trail in the woods will be all down hill. If you choose the South to North, buckle down and go straight up the VERY steep trail to the left after passing the Fort Snelling visitors center building.before you start the woods trail.
The Greenway is an amazing place to ride! 10/10! The flatness of the path as well as the infrequent car crossings make it perfect for getting on your bike and flying down the path.
Be sure to check out the murals along the way! However, don't stop at Freewheel, bad service and are not WTF friendly.
Great for families, friends, and dogs. Can't wait to bike this trail everyday in the summer!
This is a great trail from Crow Wing State Park with lots of small hills & curves. Once you get to Baxter it becomes very confusing because there is another trail (MRT) that sometimes runs contiguously with it, sometimes parallel & sometimes goes in another direction. Obviously, better signs are needed.
When we rode it last summer we put on a lot of extra city miles getting through Baxter/Brainerd--mostly on busy city streets. Most of the locals had no clue about trails. Once through Brainerd the trail is wonderful going through pine forests & by lakes. There was supposed to be some road construction north of Nisswa but don't know if that's done or how it impacts trail?
You can now ride this trail from SW Bloomington out to Carver. A short section between Chaska & Carver has new, smooth pavement. Just follow the Chaska dike trail, when you get west near the ball park you go on a street for a short ways & then the trail is there--maybe they'll put up signs someday? Carver is a cute little town. There is a Casey's near the trailhead.
Once you get in to Carver you can take the trail a little farther, then a road for a mile & then you can pick up on another trail & go up some steep hills & loop back to Carver or Chaska.
The trail should be paved to County 1 to the West edge of Lester Prairie sometime this early summer!
The Bruce Veto trail is always a wonderful ride, but once the EXPRESS BUS LINE (from WBL to downtown St. Paul) is built on the trail it will die. Who wants to ride next to huge stinking diesel busses? Not Me! Don't build on our trail.
This is not a road bike trail. It's horrid. It will ruin your bike, not to mention your body. It was supposed to get resurfaced... never did. Go elsewhere
This trail enables riders to get around Minneapolis safely since it is an east-west connector between the mainly north-south trails along the Miss. river and around the chain of lakes,
Helps turn a recreational system into a true transportation system.
Walk with a walker and dog(Jack) and wife almost every day beautiful woods you can see wild turkey's and if your there at the right time Eichtens buffalo herd could be right along the fence its neat to see such animals close up So lucky ran into Tim from public works who told us about the trail after the compost otherwise just walked the front part for our exercise peaceful all hours it's open SO GO ENJOY(but please not to many) lol
