There’s a reason the Twin Cities are annually recognized as one of the country’s most bike-friendly communities. Look no further than the Midtown Greenway. View

River Bottoms / Minnesota River, Bloomington

The River Bottoms trail along the Minnesota River offer a great out-and-back introduction to trailriding in the south metro — and even a rope-tow barge!

Stillwater Paved Trails / Gateway, Brown’s Creek, and beyond

You can go for miles upon miles in the St. Croix Valley—across the river to Wisconsin and back over the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge.

Greater Duluth Trail System

Easily the best “trail system” in the state, with punishing climbs and breathtaking descents overlooking Lake Superior.

Jackpot / High Climber Trail, Tofte

When people ask my favorite trail in Minnesota, I can say without hesitation: JACKPOT! If you haven’t experienced this epic ride yet, make your plans.

Giants Ridge / Biwabik

Nestled on the edge of the Boundary Waters, it’s one of the best ski areas in the state. The biking can be epic as well.

Tioga / Grand Rapids

When they talk about riding Red Dirt, they're talking about the Iron Range with its miles of converted mining trails. Tioga’s trails do not disappoint.

Redhead / Chisholm

The home to the high school state mountain bike championships, riding into Redhead is like riding into a giant playground on the edge of town.

Split Rock Wilds Singletrack

Not far from the iconic lighthouse, an hour north of Duluth, a raucous network of singletrack connects Split Rock Lighthouse State Park and Beaver Bay.

Mount Kato / Mankato

As most ski hills go, Mount Kato is relatively small, but the cross-country mountain bike trails will leave you breathless. Well worth the drive south!

Mankato River Bottoms

If you’re looking for a great introduction to trail riding on flatter terrain, this area is a great place for finding your mountain biking groove.
