Lake Minnetonka LTR Regional Trail

So many reasons why you have to love the LRT.
1) It’s just an awesome paved trail. It’s a little MSP luxury most other cities don’t have.
2) It’s beautiful. Great scenary along the way.
3) It has a volunteer that rides along and helps people out, like a buddy who gets you home if you’re too drunk.
4) It’s long. You can get a serious ride in or a small portion.
After I bought my bike, this was the first place I went. God bless the LRT.

LOVE this trail! I’ve been biking on it a few times; you can also walk it if you choose. Motor vehicles aren’t allowed, so there’s no need to worry about getting run over. How great is that! The gravel on the trail is always nicely evened out, and the paths are wide enough to support people going both directions comfortably. It makes a fun day trip to ride in from Edina or Hopkins and go to a restaurant on the Minnetonka lakeside. Excelsior is a little further along the trail, so if you want to go shopping then that’s an option too!
The trail can get a little crowded on nice days, and there are kind of a lot of stop signs at a few points. But overall a fun way to spend an afternoon!
