40+ Miles Of Bike Trails Throughout The City
Loved our trip around the Grand rounds. Rode with our bike group one Sunday in September. Reasonably well marked, but be sure to check the map at each of the gazebo like structures or run a map app on your phone. Beautiful ride.

Old, wealthy St. Paul neighborhood with Victorian mansions.
Summit Avenue is a pleasant avenue to walk in the spring, summer, and fall to see gorgeous historic homes.

We went down to Loring park by walking the Greenway from our hotel. Friends had told us there was free skating and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the skates and the comfort of the warming house. Ice is created by flooding, so not perfectly flat and smooth, but they do a wonderful job with what they have. After the skating, we got lunch at the Holidazzle food vendors. It was lots of fun! Highly recommended.

Ok, it's not really free. Our tax dollars are paying for this and I'd be glad to say they can take a little more to upgrade the trail in places where it's gotten quite rough. However, miles and miles of trail along the Cannon River and through SE MN towns and a state park - the options are endless! We usually start somewhere between Fairbault and Sakatah State Park. The trail is very straight with very little grade. There are many options for stopping along the way for anything you might want or want to do. It seems rare the trail is busy. We've even had it completely to ourselves at least once. Literally not one other person using the trail while we were there. I would not recommend the skinny tire bikes for at least the portion from Waterville to Elysian - it's rough to say the least, but I see on the DNR site that some of this is being redone. Hopefully next year will be a different situation on this portion. Our bikes with the wider tires had no problems. Portions of the trail may go through town - as it did in Waterville, but we found that easy to follow. Parking and trailheads are easily accessible. It's nice to not have to buy a pass. I can't believe it took this long to get this listed on TA, but finally. Go biking! Or hiking, or whatever. I do believe there are portions alongside the paved trail for horses but the few spots I saw were quite overgrown.
