We stayed in Preston overnight and the rode 6.7 miles of this trial to access the Root River trail and then east to Peterson and back for a 50 mile ride. While not as wide and well maintained as the root river trial this is still a nice shady trail with pleasant river views and Preston is a good Lodging option for the root river trail. Stayed at the Jailhouse Inn. The owners are very welcoming and the breakfast is top notch.
A great easy cruising trail. Wider than most and well maintained. Lots of shade but you can still get views of farms, hills, and the river.
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.
The trail between Buhl and Mountain Iron is some of the worst trail I have ever been on. Needs major attention.
The trail runs along a fairly busy road and it can be a bit loud. Paved areas are in good shape and some older sidewalk is in lesser shape and a bit rough. Nice views of Buffalo Lake and the North Fork Crow River.
Blue Mound Trail has been newly resurfaced in 2025. A very picturesque ride along the cliff line and into the state park campground. This connects to the city of Luverne which has trail that runs along perimeter of town and also Ashby Trail. Totally worth the trip as you can ride more than 20 miles round trip when combining all. Take 16 brewery is located adjacent in Luverne for a cold drink and a pizza!!
This trail is really quite nice. I’ve written it now for the last 10 years and have marvel that the evolution and changes that occur along the trail. I saw the review about post riots, that’s largely BS. I rode the trail almost every single day during those days and never had a single bit of hassle. Fact, the people were very nice. Of course they had loaded the target had very nice tents and food, but as a hole they were very nice. Currently the trail is having some work done in the middle of it to bypass some bridgework, but that is no big deal.
The portion of the trail near Cedar Lake has been in pretty good shape, except for a few asphalt heaves, as the LRT trail is getting done. The access has gotten better and as a whole, it is a nice. Trail, like most of these trails it’s flat, does head out west, which is kind of fun.
I’ve been biking and running this trail for 40 years. It’s a nice smooth ride from Minnehaha Falls north. As a hole the trail is pretty good, it has a few narrow spots but as Citi trails go, it’s actually in pretty good shape.
A great place to bring kids. Nice walk around the lake good bike lanes.
there’s been a lot of improvements to this trail. I suggest you ignore any reviews pre-2025. Note that the map provided in this app is out of date. You can do the full Grand Round loop riding on dedicated bike paths 98% of the route.
