Cannon Valley Trail

Spectacular Ride!

June, 2025 by jeanne.eggert

Just an awesome ride following the Cannon River nearly all the way. Spotted 11 deer (3 of them fawns), 2 swan, 1 eagle and a whole lot beauty along the way. We parked at the trailhead in Cannon Falls and rode short of Red Wing and back for a stunning 20 miles. Highly recommend!!!

Beaver Islands Trail

Clearwater Mn

June, 2025 by vickynovotny

Trail from Clearwater goes approx 11 miles all paved some new in 2025. Saw horses, deer, rabbits

Root River State Trail

Great Trail!

June, 2025 by rjbrown73

Rode round trip, including Rushford to Preston plus the spur to Fountain and back. Well maintained, beautiful trail with wonderful trail towns pleasantly spaced. I stayed in Lanesboro and would highly recommend it!

Heart of the Lakes Trail

Nice trail near to home

June, 2025 by mcmlrj

This is a nicely maintained trail from Pelican Rapids to Perham. One section is more difficult if you are not using e-bikes.

Greenway of Greater Grand Forks

Great urban trail. Wonderful use of a flood plain.

June, 2025 by tomsuejkm

Great urban trail. Wonderful use of a flood plain.

Paul Bunyan State Trail

Noticeable Expansion Cracks

June, 2025 by greghine_tl

Rode for 12.5 miles south from Jenkins and back. While the route is great - a typical rails-to-trails with the exception that it’s asphalt paved - the one distracting factor is the large expansion cracks. Kerthump. Kerthump. Kerthump. That being the case, I feel a wide tired bicycle, with slightly under inflated tires might be most comfortable. Otherwise, a great ride. Lunched in Nisswa.

Shooting Star State Trail

Boring, Straight, and not well cared for.

June, 2025 by hreadfnp

We rode 1/2 way to LeRoy from Austin end. Just over 10miles. Parked our car at a gas station that’s there and took our electric scooters! Weather was beautiful and in the 80s but we were not too hot. The trail was boring and followed the road. Straight most of the time. Weeds are growing into the trail and the asphalt needs repair. Lots and lots of cracks! We had a good time but we won’t go again.

Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail

Wonderful ride! Highly recommend

June, 2025 by jeanne.eggert

What a treat this trail was! An unbelievable amount of boardwalk riding, through the trees, over the marshes, over highways and river. It definitely is a hidden gem and one you should check out! We thoroughly enjoyed this one. ¿

Cannon Valley Trail

Trail is in very bad shape, especially from red wing to Welch. Not sure where the wheel pass money is going. Definitely not worth paying for.

Minnesota River Greenway

Great Birdwatching!

June, 2025 by kspaulson

We rode from the Cedar Nichols Trailhead to the 77 Bridge and back. I hope someone eventually posts the path on the 77 bridge. We were too freaked out by traffic sounds to even go look. The abundant birds on this trail are a treat! It will fun when they finish the next segment north of this trailhead.

Empire Township Trail

Good work walking, not great for bikes

June, 2025 by kspaulson

We hit the Empire Township Trail at the Spruce St entrance (at the back of the parking lot by the hockey rink), in the evening. We were riding our bikes. The trail is not great for bikes at all anymore. The pavement is creased and hole-y, causing a tooth-rattling ride. We only rode to the DQ on Hwy 3 and then elected to take city streets back. It was a bit over 4 miles round trip that way. I went back to the Empire Township Trail in Farmington, MN this morning, on foot and with my dog. It is a pleasant walking trail, though there are areas that are hidden away from public view and could be a security risk (there was a male dressed all in black in the bushes as I walked by. I assume public urination was the reason). The trail could be improved with more lighting and maybe a public emergency call box or two. But all in all it's a nice trail with abundant birds.

Red Jacket Trail

We had a beautiful ride for about 12 miles on this trail!
