Morgan Trail

On the 4th of July I biked from downtown St. Paul to Minnehaha park in Minneapolis.  One of my favorite bike rides because of the river and the view of Fort Snelling at the overlook and the lock and dam by the old Ford Plant and of course Minnehaha falls.

As I went along the path I ended up giving people directions and kind of acting as a tour guide.  

  • No Minneapolis isn’t far from St. Paul

  • Sure just go over the Ford Bridge and you will be on the Minneapolis side of the Mississippi River.

  • The bike path kind of follows the river

  • Sure you can go to Minnehaha falls and you can’t miss them, take a left at the end of the Ford Bridge.

  • Yes if you take a right at the end of the bridge you will eventually get to the Stone Arch Bridge.

I love biking on the 4th of July.  I like seeing St. Paulites out and about and doing touristy things.  If you want to bike the trails along the river you will find these little informational stations with maps that show the major landmarks.  Enjoy!
