How to get there:
South 35W through Bloomington to 109th Street. East to "T" in road and then south down to boat launch and parking.

It’s true, a lot of self titled "experts" on this trail. Overweight, middle aged businessmen poured into fancy spandex who could barely peddle around their lavish suburban city block, let alone a very easy (yet scenic) off-road trail. As a previous poster said, go early if possible. This use to be a local secret, but has (sadly) become an overcrowded haven for attention whores.

if you are riding this trail, also check out the one listed as the Fort Snelling Trail. it is the section east of Hwy77 that goes all the way to 494 and the mall of america

the old cedar bridge is closed due to structural instability. If you plan to make a loop between hwy 77 and 35W you will get cut off. There are heads accessible from either side of the bridge, but i haven't yet discovered if they meet up anywhere along the line.

Be careful. This ride is often single track with riders going both ways. Yell around tight corners or when going down hills to warn oncoming riders. Best to ride it early on a weekend morning, or week days. Very muddy if any rain in the prior week. I usually park at the Indian Creek Elementary School near 77 and ride to 35W and back.

Fun trail to just kick it. Not very challenging. Night riding even better. Not alot of room to get hurt. Watch the guys who ride it alot they think they own it. I run them off when I can.

Nice long trail by the river. You can get some good speed. The raft is a pretty cool touch. Sand sux-- I mean, "sand is bad". And climbs or technical sections are practically non-existent.

this trail seems to change every year. I went out yesterday and found it to be flat and no very technical, but I brought a friend out for his first none park ride and he loved it. (oh and one side note, depending on the time of the year you might not be able to cross the big creek. but this was a first for me.)
