Mountain Biking Theodore Wirth Park

****   Add a review
#7 of 138 mountain bike trails in Minnesota
#425 in the world

This trail has just officially been approved by the Minneapolis Park Board at and official activity. This means, mountain biking is treated just like baseball, soccer, and other similar activities.....so this is totally killer. The trail itself is a very good flowing singletrack. It's considered an intermediate trail with a few more advanced features here and there, with bypasses. In 2006, we plan to build an expert section and a few more miles of singletrack. This trail is about 5 minutes out of downtown Minneapolis and is in a very nicely wooded area. When you are riding there, you would never guess you are in a big urban area.....that's pretty darn cool if you ask me.

Getting there
Hwy 55 and Theodore Wirth Parkway. From Hwy 100, go East on 55 to Theodore Wirth Parkway. From Int 94 go West on 55 to Theodore Wirth Parkway. Trail entrance is on the North West corner with a Kiosk and map. You can't park there, so you must go South on Theodore Wirth Parkway until you get to Glennwood. Take a Left (East) on Glennwood and you will see a lake and parking lot to your left. Park there and follow the way you came back to the trail head. There are paved bicycle trails along Theodore Wirth Parkway on the west side, so you can take those back to the entrance and kiosk at 55 and Theodore Wirth Parkway.
