Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail
The Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail is an aggregate trail that follows an old railroad route from Hopkins to Chanhassen and Chaska. The trail offers views of Shady Oak Lake, Miller Park, Riley Lake Park and the forested hills around the Minnesota River Valley. Trail connections to downtown Hopkins and downtown Chaska make this corridor ideal for exploration.

Detour near Pioneer Trail
Hennepin County, in partnership with the City of Eden Prairie, is reconstructing the Pioneer Trail bridge where it crosses over the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail in Eden Prairie. Beginning April 29 and continuing for approximately three months, trail users should follow a short detour around the construction zone. The detour uses off-road city trails adjacent to Pioneer Trail and Great Plains Boulevard. Learn more about the project.

Things To Do
Biking in Three Rivers is a great way to get the whole family outside. Whether you’re the casual rider or a cyclist in training, you’ll appreciate more than 240 miles of off-roadway bike/hike trails that wind through woodlands and grasslands and rim the shorelines of lakes and ponds at our parks.
Three Rivers offers abundant scenery for you and your dog to enjoy year round, with paved, turf, regional and skijoring/dog sledding trails that are dog-friendly. Dogs must be on a six-foot non-retractable leash unless in a designated dog off-leash area. Owners must pick-up after their dogs.
One of the best ways to explore year-round is to head out for a hike on the extensive trail system in Three Rivers. Trails wind through the woodland, grassland and wetland habitats of many species of wildlife. You’ll be amazed at what you might see along the way.
Please note: In winter, hiking on cross-country ski trails is not permitted.

Winter Plowing
Over 100 miles of the regional trail system are maintained in the winter, generally from mid-November through March. This is achieved through a partnership between Three Rivers and local cities.
The Minnesota River Bluffs Trail is plowed in Chanhassen, Eden Prairie (from Highway 62 to Riley Lake Road), Hopkins and Minnetonka. See winter trail maintenance information.
