If you ever get out to the Elk River area, there’s a fantastic rail trail that starts in Elk River and ends in Zimmerman. eventually this trail when completed will finish at Lake Mille Lacs. The trail goes through mostly undeveloped countryside. Lots of wooded areas, and open meadows. The Trail is called The Great Northern trail. It used to be owned by The Great Northern Rail Road. Its super smooth asphalt. Check it out
@@jjsbiketrailreview9608 Hey, a good ride would be elk river to Zimmerman. Have lunch at the Zimmerman bar and grill and then ride back to elk river. There’s outside seating and their food is really good
Love these and appreciate the map shots. Have been wanting to come up to mpls from dsm specifically to ride the greenway and other mpls area trails. Thanks for the info!!!
Thank you for watching and glad to hear you’re looking to come and bike in the Twin Cities. Let me know if you’d like recommendations of other trails to ride.
Great tour. Future travelers, make a stop to admire the lovely Soo Line Community Garden on your trip (between Garfield and Harriet) - going strong since 1991. Wood chip trail through the garden so walk bikes please
I have a suggestion of riding the Lutsen 99er bike trail. Not necessarily the race, just the track the racer's travel on. Never been on it, but it does sound exciting and challenging.
