Shooting Star State Trail

It’s not taken care of very good

July, 2024 by pops65

We started at Rose creek and went to Adams (first part of the trail from I90 to Rose Creek is right next to Hiway 56)the first couple of miles the weeds were hanging over the trail and weeds growing up in All the cracks it was not worth the drive to Austin. I wouldn’t recommend this trail until some major maintenance is done.

Great Northern Trail

Good Trail

July, 2024 by kyjoe80

Mostly a flat trail from Elk River to Zimmerman. You can make it almost 20 miles if you bike from Elk River to the Smokehouse on Hwy 4 in Zimmerman. Take the outside routes in Woodlands Trails Park and keep going around the Elk River Golf course. Early mornings and later evenings you may see both turkey and deer along the routes. It's an enjoyable easy route and I'm looking forward to the expansion north.

Lake Wobegon Trail

Recommend!

July, 2024 by xgqrms2jbn

I rode from Albany to West Union. I wish there were long trails like this where I live. Very well maintained and smooth. I hope to take the north leg to the covered bridge also.

Glacial Lakes State Trail

Nice ride

July, 2024 by xgqrms2jbn

I rode from Paynesville to Spicer. There were a few wide cracks you wouldn't want to get caught off guard but otherwise the trail is in good repair. The trail is closed just a bit past Hawick heading west but I was able to move over to the closed hwy 23 for a mile or so to detour back to the trail. Very nice summer's day ride. I would recommend riding this trail if you have the chance.

Vermillion River Regional Greenway

A good day

July, 2024 by 8xshdh9bmw

The trail is smooth, with a few challenging inclines. We stopped at the bridge, downtown for lunch at the Confluence hotel. They have a couple yard games out front, and seating for taking in the view. Part of the trail, near the Vermillion entrance is being paved. We’ll go back to complete the loop. .

Indian Mounds Trail

Overgrown, no real views

July, 2024 by qq7tytwc6n

This looked like a once wonderful park and trail. It is not maintained properly - with too much overgrown trees and greenery to see any sights over the bluff.

Cannon Valley Trail

beautiful trail

July, 2024 by c-armen

We rode from Welch into cannon falls. Took about an hour and stopped at the winery for some flatbread and wine then rode back. Great day. We were able to ride side by side most of the way and the trail was smooth and mostly flat and mostly shaded.

Root River State Trail

Loved this trail

July, 2024 by pauldspain

Only did about 11 miles round trip from Houston. Very rural and scenic with river views, hills, fields and heavy tree overgrowth. I would love to do the entire journey. That is for next time!!!

Sleepy Eye Lake Bike Trail

It's a nice, well-maintained trail that goes around the lake.

July, 2024 by gr8white_74

It's a nice, well-maintained trail that goes around the lake.

Mesabi Trail

Most beautiful & well maintained trail!

July, 2024 by hmeier23

We biked the roughly 23 mile trail that connects Tower to Ely and it is absolutely spectacular! The condition of the trail is perfect and the scenery is so beautiful! I am sure the rest of the 90+ miles of this trail are amazing too! Can’t wait to explore more-I’ve bike all over the country and this trail is second to none… Biking friends-Put this trail on your bucket list! Come to NE Minnesota!
