CLICK TO BOOKBest Hikes for the Entire Family:
Minnesota consists of 17.6 million acres of forest land and well over 10,000 lakes. It’s a great place to enjoy the great outdoors, and luckily for the residents of Minnesota, literally everyone lives within 50 miles of at least one state park.
In other words, discovering and exploring the hiking trails near MN is pretty easy. With these many forests and nature trails, residents can rarely claim to have seen all the best hikes near Minneapolis.
Whether you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life or just a need a little fresh air, Minneapolis has a hiking trail the whole family can enjoy.
- Minnehaha Creek Trail – Get to know this 2.9-km loop trail near Fort Snelling, Minnesota. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 41 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and road biking, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are March through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
- Lake Nokomis Trail – 5 miles paved trails, 18 miles gravel trails along Minnesota River and Mississippi River; Snelling Lake, Pike Island 7 miles loop trail; nearby Lake Nokomis 2.5 miles loop trail.
- Lebanon Hills Regional Park – It is one of the most popular hiking places in the Twin Cities and the largest park in Minnesota’s Dakota County. Some of the most popular hiking trails include Lebanon Hills Loop, Jensen Lake Trail, Holland and O’Brien Lakes Trail, and McDonough Lake Loop. The Lebanon Hills Regional Park is roughly 10 miles from the MSP, located within the Twin Cities metro area. You’ll see several wooden areas, snowshoeing trails, ski routes, and picnic areas. The trail difficulty is moderate, which is good news for advanced trailers looking for paths less traveled.Â
Other hikes near the Twin Cities include: Hidden Falls Regional Park, Afton State Park, Fort Snelling State Park, Murphy Hanrehan Park Reserve.Â
