Paul Bunyan Trail, Minnesota

The lake house we rented for our family vacation was only a few miles from the famous Paul Bunyan State Trail.  So, of course, I was eager to rent a bike and take a spin on a portion of the 84 mile trail that transverses the state of Minnesota. 

The bike shop suggested that we ride south - it was more scenic at the time since the trail to the north  was under construction.  We were not disappointed. 

The Paul Bunyan trail is miles and miles of a flat, tree-lined path that is away from traffic.  In the short section we biked, we passed four lakes - Clark, Molly, Hubert and North Long Lake.  There were plenty of places for a picnic stop and several towns to explore along the way. 

This would be an overnight bike tour dream!! 

 

 

 

Minnesota is lucky to have the Paul Bunyan Trail!!
