Regional bike trails

Three bike trails, managed by the Three Rivers Park District, run through St. Louis Park. These trails connect to miles of additional trails running from Minneapolis to Chaska. For details about the regional trail system, contact Three Rivers Park District at 763.559.9000.

Cedar Lake Trail

This 3.6-mile trail links St. Louis Park to downtown Minneapolis. It has separate lanes for bikers and walkers.

Cedar Lake Extension Trail

This 4.3-mile paved trail connects the Cedar Lake Trail from downtown Minneapolis to the Southwest Trail in Hopkins following the Hutchinson Spur rail line.

Cedar Lake Regional Trail

This 5-mile paved trail goes from the Kennilworth Trail near 31st and Chowen Avenue to 11th Avenue in Hopkins. It follows the rail line along Highway 7 and continues west through Hopkins to Chaska. The Southwest Trail also links east to the Kennilworth and Midtown Greenway Trails in Minneapolis.

*trail entrances are noted in the foldable city/trail map below.

Trail closure: Cedar Lake Regional Trail

The Cedar Lake Regional Trail will be closed until further notice due to impacts from construction of the Metropolitan Council’s Metro Green Line Extension (Southwest Light Rail Transit) project. A detour is in place that uses the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail and the local bicycle network to connect users with the Midtown Greenway during this closure period. Detour signs notify trail users of alternative routes. System-wide detour map is available from the Metropolitan Council.

The trail will be fully reconstructed upon completion of the project and will include grade-separated crossings at Beltline Boulevard, Wooddale Avenue and Blake Road. For more information about the regional trail, contact Danny McCullough at danny.mccullough@threeriversparks.org or 763.559.6746.
