Welcome to the Bike State
Minnesota is a biker’s paradise, offering riders every type of terrain imaginable from
long, paved trails to urban roadside paths and rugged mountain biking tracks. Some
enthusiasts ride year-round with the help of special fat tire bikes designed to plow
through the snow. For those looking for a smooth, leisurely ride, major trails such
as the Root River Trail in the southeast, Gitchi Gami in the northeast and Lake
Wobegon in the heart of the state are popular destinations. Start your trip in one of
the trails’ anchor towns, where lodging properties and local outfitters offer rentals
for riders of all ages.

America’s fittest city. Outside Magazine’s best town. The nation’s top city parks. These accolades, along with many others, have been bestowed upon Minnesota in recent years—and for good reason. With more than 4,000 miles
of paved bike trails, 11,000 lakes, 500 golf courses and one of the world’s longest
rivers starting its journey here, outdoor recreation is in our DNA.
But these activities aren’t just for locals. With equipment rentals, lessons and
plenty of friendly faces willing to show visitors the way, it’s easy to add a bike ride,
fishing trip, round of golf or kayaking excursion to your Minnesota vacation.
