The Lilydale Regional Trail in St Paul is my favorite trail in the city! The trail starts at the Minnesota Greenway Trailhead and heads south past Mendota and then follows the Minnesota River to the Pool and Yacht Club where you can jump on the newly paved road or stay on the bike path for a more relaxing ride.
After making your way to Harriet Island, you can turn around and head back the same way or cross over the Roberts Street Bridge to make your way north along the other side of the river.
