Seven Rail Trails a Short Drive From the Twin Cities for Fall Color Rides


The Fall colors are starting to show and what a better way to see them than on a bicycle.  Minnesota and Western Wisconsin have numerous rail trails within a two hour drive of the Twin Cities that will show you some of the best nature has to offer.  In this post I will list some of the favorites I've ridden, in no particular order, that I found well worth the drive. 

Stower Seven Lakes State Trail


The Stower Seven Lakes State Trail is a 14 mile crushed limestone trail that like the name says, brings riders past seven scenic lakes.  There are plenty of fall colors to see along the way as you pass through woods, wetlands and prairies on this former railroad corridor.  Travelling from Dresser to Amery, this trail also goes through the towns of Nye, Wanderoos and Deronda.  Parking is available near the trail in Amery and on city streets in Wanderoos and Dresser.  There is also parking at Lotus Lake Park in Dresser just 1/3 of a mile down the road from the trail.  

Cyclists age 16 or older need a Wisconsin State Trail Pass while using the trail.  Trail passes can be purchased at self-registration stations in Nye and Amery.  Trail passes are $5 per person a day and $25 per person annually.  A Stower Seven Lakes State Trail map is available online to download and print.

Red Cedar State Trail



The Red Cedar State Trail is a favorite of mine for its scenic beauty as it passes through the Dunnville Barrens Wildlife Area, Lower Chippewa State Natural Area and along the Red Cedar River Valley.  This 14.5 mile crushed limestone former railroad grade travels from Menomonie to the junction of the Chippewa River State Trail just southwest of  Dunnville as it passes through Irvington and Downsville.  Parking is available at the northern trailhead in Menomonie, Irvington, Downsville and at the southern end of the Chippewa River State Trail trailhead in Durand.

Cyclists age 16 or older need a Wisconsin State Trail Pass while using the trail.  Trail passes can be purchased at self-registration stations at the Menomonie depot trailhead, Downsville and in Durand at the trailhead of the Chippewa River State Trail (which leads 7 miles northeast to the trail junction of the Red Cedar State Trail).  Trail passes are $5 per person a day and $25 per person annually.  A Red Cedar State Trail map is available online to download and print.

Cannon Valley Trail 


The Cannon Valley Trail has long been a favorite of cyclists to take in the Fall colors of the Cannon River Valley.  This paved former Chicago Great Western Railroad line will take cyclists 19.7 miles along the south side of the Cannon River past prairies, scenic overlooks, hardwood forests and wetlands between Cannon Falls and Red Wing.  Parking is available on either end of the trail at Red Wing and Cannon Falls as well as the middle of the trail in Welch.  A Wheel Pass is required for any cyclist age 18 and over for $5 a day or $25 for the season.  Wheel Passes can be purchase at self-pay boxes at entry point kiosks in Cannon Falls, Welch and Red Wing, online or at participating business vendors.  A Cannon Valley Trail map is available online to download and print.  There is also an interactive map of the trail online.

Douglas State Trail 



Head south down Highway 52 to Pine Island for a Fall color ride along the Douglas State Trail.  This 12.5 mile paved trail built on a former railroad grade takes cyclists through some amazing rural scenery including the woods and pastures of this agriculturally rich area between Pine Island and Rochester.  Parking is available at the trailheads in Pine Island, Douglas and Rochester.  A Douglas State Trail map is available online to download and print.

Gandy Dancer State Trail-Southern Segment


Take the short trip across the border to St. Croix Falls, WI to view the Fall colors of the Southern Segment of the Gandy Dancer Trail.  This crushed limestone trail takes cyclists 47 miles from St. Croix Falls to Danbury through the towns of Centuria, Milltown, Luck, Frederic, Lewis, Siren and Webster.  The rural scenery and woods along the way make this trail a great choice to take in the Fall colors.  At the end of the trail in Danbury you will find a 520-foot trestle that crosses the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway into Minnesota providing fantastic views of the river valley.  Parking is available in St. Croix Falls, Centuria, Milltown, Frederic, Siren, Webster and Danbury.

Cyclists age 16 or older need a Wisconsin State Trail Pass while using the trail.  Trail passes can be purchased at numerous locations along the trail.  For a complete list of the designated trail pass vendors, visit the Friends of Gandy Dancer State Trail website. Trail passes are $5 per person a day and $25 per person annually.  A Gandy Dancer State Trail-Southern Segment map is available online to download and print.

Chippewa River State Trail

 
The Chippewa River State Trail is part of a group of trails that makes up the Chippewa Valley Trail System which also includes the Red Cedar State Trail and the Old Abe State Trail.  This asphalt/asphalt emulsion trail stretches 30 miles along the Chippewa River from Durand to Eau Claire passing through the towns of Meridean and Caryville and the Dunnville Wildlife Area near the confluence of the Red Cedar and Chippewa Rivers.  The changing habitat includes river bottoms, woods, prairies, bluffs and wetlands making it a great choice to the see the Fall colors by bicycle.  Parking is available at Tarrant Park in Durand, Meridean, Caryville and at Phoenix Park in downtown Eau Claire.

Cyclists age 16 or older need a Wisconsin State Trail Pass while using the trail.  Trail passes can be purchased at a self-registration box in Durand and Eau Claire.  Trail passes are $5 per person a day and $25 per person annually.  A Chippewa River State Trail map is available online to download and print.

Willard Munger State Trail 


Take the short trip north to Hinckley and ride the 70 mile Hinckley-Duluth segment of the Willard Munger State Trail.  This completely paved former railroad route will take cyclists through the cities of Willow River, Moose Lake, Barnum and Carlton on the way to Duluth.  Riders will also experience great Fall colors scenery in the General C.C. Andrews State Forest near Willow River and Jay Cooke State Park near Carlton.  Parking is available at numerous locations along the trail.  A Willard Munger State Trail map is available online to download and print.

True North Basecamp is the Place to Stay for Mountain Biking Cuyuna


True North Basecamp is the place to go when visiting the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails for some "shred the red" fun.  It even made Outside Magazine's 26 Best Trips to Take Right Now.  Located just blocks from downtown Crosby it gives you the feel of being out in the wilderness with the comfort of being close to town and is only about a 2+ hour drive from the Twin Cities.


Located on Armour Mine Pit #2 Lake, the rustic lakefront cabins provide great views to help you unwind after a day of riding the trails.  Each of the 6 cabins have heat and a fire ring outside for a campfire on those chilly evenings and air conditioning for the hot days.  They sleep up to five people and have wi-fi access and USB charging ports for electronic devices.


If camping is more your style, True North Basecamp also has 23 scenic campsites and 3 camper sites for pop-ups and pull-behind trailers.


Campsite amenities include a fire ring, picnic table, on-property wi-fi access and drinking water.  Each of the three camping areas has vault toilets and it's a short walk to the shower house.

True North Basecamp has the simple things needed to make your stay comfortable but you will need to bring your bedding/sleeping bag, pillow and towels for your stay whether you camp or rent one of the lakeside cabins.  If you plan on doing some cooking during your stay you will want to bring a cooler with ice to keep your food cold, a crockpot for cooking/reheating prepared meals, a campstove to cook on or cook over the open fire of the provided fire pit with cooking grate.


One of my favorite amenities of True North Basecamp is the on-site access to 30+ miles of Minnesota's best mountain biking in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area and the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail is just across the lake.


When I'm ready to hit the mountain bike trails all I have to do is cross the little bridge over Serpent Creek near the cabins and I can access the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail which will take me to the trails in the Mahnomen Unit or I can jump on the Dragline trail to the Portsmouth and Yawkey Unit trails.  The nice thing about being trail connected is I can easily ride back to the "Basecamp" for some lunch or a cold one and then get right back to riding.


After a day of riding in the Summer heat one of the first things you're going to want to do when you get back to the Basecamp is get out of your sweaty cycling clothes and take a shower.  The shower house which is located right behind the lakefront cabins has what you need to get feeling refreshed.  After a shower with conditioned water and a change of clothes you're ready to relax back at your campsite or cabin.

True North Basecamp has special weekday rates that can save you a bunch of cash.  Rent one of the lakefront cabins Sunday through Thursday for only $69 a night, Friday and Saturday nights are just $125 a night.  Camping is even more thrifty Sunday through Thursday for only $19 a night and $29 a night on Fridays and Saturdays.  Check in time is at 4:00pm and check out is at noon.


To book your stay visit the True North Basecamp website for Cabin and Camping reservations.  For updates and more information visit the True North Basecamp Facebook Page, Twitter Page or send them a message on their contact page.

Summer Getaway to True North Basecamp

Image Credit: Dan Jurek

Since opening last Fall, True North Basecamp has become the place to go when visiting the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails for some "shred the red" fun.  They offer cyclists a great place to stay just blocks from downtown Crosby and they are "trail-connected" to the World Class mountain biking that the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area has become known for.  Whether you like a little comfort or choose to rough-it, True North Basecamp has the accommodations for you.

I'm not much of a camper, so when I visit Cuyuna I like to stay in one of True North's rustic lakefront cabins.  They offer me and my friends a comfortable place to settle in or to just take a break from riding.  Being trail-connected I can ride for a few hours and head back to the cabin to cool off in the air conditioning, grab a cold one and a bite to eat.  For those chilly evenings the cabins have heat and a fire ring outside for a campfire.  Each of their six cabins has a wonderful view of the Armour Mine Pit #2 Lake, one full and three twin beds, Wifi access to stay connected, USB charging ports for electronics and is right next door to the shower house.

For those that prefer to camp, there are 33 wooded campsites each with a fire ring and picnic table.  In addition to tent camping, True North Basecamp does allow pop-up and teardrop campers but they do not have hook ups or pull through sites.  Vault toilets are located throughout the campsite area and it's a short walk to the shower house.

After a day of riding in the Summer heat one of the first things you're going to want to do when you get back to the Basecamp is get out of your sweaty cycling clothes and take a shower.  The shower house which is located right behind the lakefront cabins has what you need to get feeling refreshed.  After a shower with conditioned water and a change of clothes you're ready to relax back at your campsite or cabin.

For those that would rather have someone else do the cooking, Crosby is just a couple of blocks away with restaurants and bars that serve up food.  If you would rather stay in, Louie's Bucket of Bones now delivers to True North Basecamp.

Access to 30+ miles of Minnesota's best mountain biking is right on the premises and the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail is just across the lake.  If you want to cool off after a day out on the trails, there is a sandy swimming beach on the shores of the Armour Mine Pit #2 lake.  Another new addition this Summer is that pets are now allowed, so bring your trail dog with for the trip.

If you are in need of a bike rental during your stay, Cycle Path and Paddle in Crosby delivers bike rentals to True North Basecamp.  Rates for a hardtail mountain bike are $35/half day or $45/full day.  Fat bikes, road bikes, canoes/kayaks and paddle boards are also available for rent.  Delivery schedule information is available on their website or call 218-545-4545 for more information.

The Minnesota DNR issued a News Release on December 15th that details the expansion of fatbike riding opportunities throughout the state.  These opportunities include 58 new miles open to fatbiking in Minnesota State Parks and on State Trails.  This is in addition to the 20 miles already in use at Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area near Ironton.  Minnesota State Parks and Trails has also implemented a Winter Fat Biking Pilot Project to assist in finding places to ride and they would also like rider feedback that includes comments, suggestions and ways to improve these new winter fatbike trails.

The Minnesota DNR has maps of these new fatbike-friendly trails available for download.  These maps clearly detail fatbike/multi-use trails from snowshoe/ski/hiking only trails through the use of color to distinguish use (see each map's legend).

In Northern Minnesota, Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area has 20 miles of groomed trails, Jay Cooke State Park has added 5.4 miles of trails to be groomed and Split Rock Lighthouse State Park will groom 8.7 miles of trails for fatbikes and ski skating.

Twin Cities Metro Area fatbike trail opportunities include Fort Snelling State Park with 6 miles of packed muti-use trails, the Luce Line State Trail has 7 miles of groomed multi-use trails and the Gateway State Trail is plowed from Cuyuga Street to Jamaca Avenue opening up 11.9 miles of trails to all winter biking.

In Southern Minnesota there are 13 miles of groomed trails from Pine Island to Rochester on the Douglas State Trail and the Blazing Star State Trail/Myre-Big Island State Park has added 6 miles of groomed trails.

Other opportunities for fatbiking from the MN DNR include:

Winter fat biking is allowed on trails that are signed and identified on DNR maps as open to fat biking, such as:

  • State forest roads or trails that are identified as allowing bicycling, unless they are groomed and tracked for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling only.*
  • State park and state recreation area trails designated for bicycling, including some non-motorized multi-use trails that may be shared with skiers, walkers, or snowshoers, unless they are groomed and tracked for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling only.*
  • State park roads, where motor vehicles are allowed, except those posted closed for biking.
  • State trails, except those groomed and tracked for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling only.
*NOTE: Most ski and snowmobile trails do not allow other uses. Skier and snowmobiler user fees pay for grooming and maintenance.

Areas to avoid riding fatbikes from the MN DNR:

While groomed snowmobile and ski trails can be an appealing ride option, most of those types of trails are not open to other uses due to concerns regarding safety and trail grooming costs that are paid through user fees. Please remember to be thoughtful and courteous as you seek out opportunities to enjoy the sport of winter fat biking.
Winter fat biking is not allowed on:

  • Most snowmobile trails, including the grant-in-aid (GIA) trail system. As a general rule for everyone's safety, please avoid fat biking on any snowmobile trail.
  • Most groomed and tracked cross-country ski trails, which are for skiing only
  • Any trail that is not specifically identified as open for bicycling, including hiking or snowshoeing trails in state parks or state recreation areas.

For more information on where to ride fatbikes in Minnesota, contact the DNR Information Center at info.dnr@state.mn.us or 651-296-6157 or 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Remember to always follow IMBA's Fat Bike Best Practices.

2nd Annual "Ride for the Cure" 2013 to Support the National Brain Tumor Society

The 2nd Annual "Ride for the Cure" 2013 is a fundraiser event in memory of Lisa A. (Popp) Iliffe to support the National Brain Tumor Society.  Join Lisa's friends and family on October 5th for a 25 mile ride through the picturesque countryside on the Rocori/Glacial Lakes Trail from Cold Spring to Rosco.  The ride starts at 3 pm at the Blue Heron Supper Club in Cold Spring.

Update:  Due to a portion of the Glacial Lakes Trail being under construction, riders will still meet at the Blue Heron Supper Club, but not unload bikes until after a short drive to the starting point by the Richmond trail head.

Afterward there will be a social hour/dinner, silent auction and dance with music provided by Music in Motion at the Blue Heron Supper Club.  All proceeds will be donated to the National Brain Tumor Society.

Lisa Anne Iliffe passed away October 28, 2011. Her final months and last days were spent with her dedicated husband Bill by her side in Kapalua Maui.

Lisa's life would seem to short too many, but those who were touched by her understood that her quality of existance far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her gentle smile and easy going attitude in life brought so much joy to our respective families and friends.


Although Lisa was fighting an incurable disease, she was a great role model of courage and hope and reminded us all of the preciousness of life.


She loved Maui, enjoyed the beach, running, plus the laid back lifestyle of the islands.


If you would like to donate to the silent auction, please contact ride organizers on the Ride for the Cure 2013 Facebook Event page.  Donations in support of the National Brain Tumor Society on behalf of Lisa A. (Popp) Iliffe "Ride for the Cure" 2013 can be made online.

Keep up to date on this event by Liking the Ride for the Cure- National Brain Tumor Society Facebook page or let them know you will be attending on the Ride for the Cure 2013 Facebook Event page.
