Giants Ridge

With more than 700 miles of asphalt-paved bikeways—more than any other state—Minnesota’s secluded, scenic trails are a cyclist’s dream. The views over the handlebars include meandering streams, wildflowers, lakes, woods, charming towns and rolling farmland. And for those who seek the challenge of spinning over rugged hillsides, numerous of mountain bike trails can be found in the Chippewa and Superior National Forests, and in state parks and recreation areas.
