Lots of itchweed and other annoyances, but a decent flat trail nonetheless. Couple of sandy spots too.
| ThankGreat beginners trail. Beautiful scenery. Winter biking is great on this trail and in the summer, parts of the trail are sandy. The raft is fixed and it's fun to use the raft to get to the other side of the river--in a Huck Fin way.
| ThankIf you know this track maybe it's ok but for first time it wasn't good. No water,no signs couple spots sand .
| ThankThis is the same trail as Bloomington Ferry. It begins in Savage and goes all the way to Ft. Snelling. Singletrack and Doubletrack, somewhere sandy, somewhere muddy. Great ride for beginners or just for a fast flat pedaling. Mosquitos are crazy here in the summer time.
