The Gateway Trail goes from near the Capitol in St. Paul to just north of Stillwater. The trail is a former railroad bed and takes you from the city to to the forest. From Oakdale to Stillwater is absolutely beautiful, with views of dense forest and lowland marshes along the way.

I also enjoy the trail that runs along the Mississippi from SCSU to Southside St Cloud. Good for biking and walking as it is paved + it is plowed in the winter.

I also love the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway which takes you long the Mississippi River and around the city lakes including Minnehaha Parkway. It's a beautiful ride anytime of the year.

The trails of Chaska are beautiful - a little rustic, a little hilly, a little adventurous.
Have your phone along for GPS because it isn't well signed! I enjoy riding the levee in Chaska and then on to the trails to Shakopee.

I grew up in Coon Rapids and enjoyed going to the Coon Rapids Dam and riding the North Hennepin Regional Trail across the river.

The Dakota Trail runs from Wayzata around Lake Minnetonka and all the way to Mayer/New Germany. About 30 miles total with several neighborhood dining spots along the way like the St. Boni Bistro and Caribou Coffee. Check it out.

In the city of St. Cloud there is a paved trail and off road trail that runs along the Mississippi River from the St. Cloud State University to a regional park on the south edge of the city. Also the Wobegon Trail runs from St. Joseph west to west of Sauk Centre, which is also paved.

I second Theo Wirth and also would suggest riding the Grand Rounds in general. You can also head up to North Mississippi Regional Park via Webber Park, but be aware of the new $6 million swimming area being constructed at Webber - the first chlorine free swimming facility based on a European design ever built in MN.

I've put on roughly 300 miles biking the Dakota rail trail from Wayzata to St. Bonifacius, MN and beyond. The trail has great views of lake Minnetonka and of course all the lush foliage along the way, now in great color! In St. Bonifacius there is a great trail side Restaurant for a break! Also in Mound there is a new trail side eatery in the midst of opening.

The Lake Wobegon Trail starts in St Joesph and offers 54 miles of beautiful paved trails! Markers along the way point out areas and help you keep track of your miles! And if you go far enough, you can stop at Dairy Queen for a cool treat!!

We really like the trails following Minnehaha Creek heading east to Minnehaha Falls and then south down to the river by FT. Snelling. We also really love riding the Greenway to Kenilworth then downtown along the river and taking the Grand Rounds river road trail to the falls and back home via the creek trails.

I live near Minnehaha falls in south Minneapolis. Did you guys know that fort snelling is a state park? There are a ton of awesome paved and unpaved trails down there! I like to enter on 54th street and Hiawatha.

There are great bike trails right in the city that go around many of the lakes (Calhoun, Harriet, Lake of the Isles, and Cedar). They hook up with the Greenway Trail that goes all over the city and along the Mississippi River, as well. The trails are beautiful. The Dakota Trail is great if you want to head out west of Minneapolis. Theodore Wirth Park also offers some great bike trails. Be ready for some hills!
