Walk Bike trails

Park users are reminded to use separate trails for walking and biking, where available.

Single-use trails open for spring

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) wants to alert park users that biking and walking paths that were combined into shared-use trails over the winter months are now open again as separate trails. Single-use trails add to the safety and enjoyment of all users. Trail users are asked to keep in mind:

  • Pedestrians may not walk or run on a bike path.
  • Bicyclists, skateboarders. in-line skaters, roller skaters and roller skiers may not use pedestrian paths.
  • When using a path, stay to the right unless passing.

Minneapolis has 51 miles of trails that follow the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway and many additional interior shared-use trails. Trails which are always shared are indicated by a "Combined Trail" or "Shared Trail" sign, as seen at right. On shared paths, bikers must yield to pedestrians.

More information on trail etiquette and safety is available on our website.
