It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I haven’t been biking as much this summer because of the heat and then the smoke. One of my favorite trails is the one that goes through Harriet island regional park and hooks up to the three rivers trail. Part of it just outside of the parks was closed this spring due to a rock slide.
Last week I explored the new Robert Priam Regional Trail. It is 3.7 miles long and connects Harriet Island Regional park to Kaposia Landing Park in South St. Paul and is part of the MRT (Mississippi River Trail).
The Harriet Island trail goes through the woods and along the river. The Robert Priam trail takes us past parking lots, self-storage facilities the scrap yard, and an airport. They built a bridge over a rail yard. It goes past a post office and the large parking lot where all those Amazon vans sleep at night. It is all very industrial until it connects up to Kaposia Landing Park. The trail is also fairly flat and very smooth.
The trail also connects to the River to River greenway and more. One of the things I really like about where I live near downtown is access to several local and regional trail systems and the grand round.
