Medicine Lake Regional Trail

some nice parts

July, 2025 by fayeanhorn

We rode from east Medicine Lake Park to Fish Lake Regional Park. Except for a few miles along a noisy 4 lane road it was a pretty trail. Parts of trail appeared to have been recently resurfaced. But other parts were very rough. I missed 1 turn off because of no signage, but was able to get back on track with Trail Link map.

Lake Koronis Recreational Trail

great trail

July, 2025 by john.kf0m

We rode part of it and found asphalt surface in good condition. A few places near town had some bumps but most of the surface was smooth. Trail was well marked with signs and where it crossed a road had signs to warn drivers. There were some walkers on the trail but at the time we rode it wasn’t crowded at all. I wish we had time to ride more of it. Most of the tail we were on was adjacent to streets but they were low traffic so it wasn’t noisy and was very pleasant riding conditions some spots had very nice view of the lake.

Paul Bunyan State Trail

Walker area notes

July, 2025 by jzonoak

We rode the Walker Loop, a great 22 mile loop that includes the Paul Bunyan, Shingobee and Heartland Trails. Some steep hills but not a problem on our e-bikes. The trail was in good condition. The next day we rode the Paul Bunyan north from Walker to LaPorte. The trail definitely had some rough spots, but it was all worth it when we happened to find a super cute coffee shop/lunch spot about a block off the trail. There are no signs so you won’t expect to see this little gem in this tiny little town. It’s called The Door. I was told the city would not allow them to put a sign along the trail!

Rocori Trail

This is the best part of the extended Glacial Lakes Trail

July, 2025 by jsherman665

The Rocori Trail begins just east of Richmond as an extension of the Glacial Lakes Trail that trailheads in Willmar, Mn. Rocori takes you up to Cold Spring and a beautiful park and bridge over a roaring river up to Rockville, Mn a small town where the trail dead ends as you can see the rusty old railroad tracks going off into the woods. That's the end of the trail, baby. BUT, as small as Rockville is there is a wonderful bar and eatery called Stoney's Garage. Makes finding the end of the trail a delight.

Dairyland Trail

This is pure Rail to Trail Biking

July, 2025 by jsherman665

Cuts through farmland MN from Elrosa MN to just south of New Munich MN where it stops, "bike purpose" dead, and goes the remainder to New Munich as a snowmobile trail. The crushed limestone is pretty nice, much better than bumpy asphalt on many trails. But. the trail is straight for the most part, no trees along the way, pure railroad scenery where the railroad could have cared less. Do it once, RT Elrosa to the terminus and back again is 20 miles. Wear sunscreen on a sunny day. Greenwald has a picnic table in the shade, and there's a bar up the street

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

Beautiful water views thru the woods … ¿

July, 2025 by jeanne.eggert

Beautifully paved bike trail over the waters and thru the woods. We rode from St. Bonafacious to Wayzata and back. Very smooth and cool morning ride. This trail is very popular as we met up with numerous walkers and bikers alike. Highly recommend especially if you’re a beginner or a fan of a level trail without hills.

Beaver Islands Trail

Clearwater Mn

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

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.

Elm Creek Park Reserve Trails

April, 2025 by markscofield02

Hiked the entire south side and north on the right side of the park. Many different birds calling and singing. Oddly still no peeps from frogs or roads. Found some junk off the horse trail, crew needs to clean it up

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

A great fall ride

October, 2024 by rmtrsws6g4

Rode this from Wayzata to Waconia and back. Well maintained, great views of a variety of environments (prairie, suburban, marsh, lake). I would recommend taking a side tour of the Six Mile Marsh Prairie Trail. Well worth the detour.

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

Rode for the first time from Wayzata to St. Bonifacious and back. One small detour but it was well marked. Low traffic and lovely views of the lakes and fields. Would recommend a bite to eat at the Bistro in St. Bonifacious.
