Monarch Singletrack Trail
Test your skills and get your adrenaline going on Three Rivers' newest mountain bike trail. Nestled on the western edge of the park, the Monarch Singletrack at Carver Park Reserve has over 14 miles of trails ranging from easy to advanced, including a trail built with adapted cycles in mind as well as an advanced skills area with jumps and drops known as "Paradise Playground." The trail is also open to hikers and snowshoers and can be accessed from two locations: Springview Drive year-round and Grimm Road in the summer and fall.
Explore the park’s wetlands, grasslands and woodlands on one of five trail loops within the singletrack. For beginners and adapted cyclists, wider trails offer gentler rides and a lift and tilt section. More experienced riders can find rocky terrain, bridge crossings, steep drops and long, sustained climbs.

Highway 5/County Road 11 detour
This spring and summer, a construction project is taking place to build a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 5 and County Road 11 in Victoria, south of Carver Park Reserve. Beginning April 6, Highway 5 will be closed west of its intersection with County Road 11 and motorists will be unable to access County Road 11 from the highway. The closure is expected to be in place through July.
People planning to visit Carver Park Reserve should follow posted detours and plan to access park features from Highway 7 to the north of the park. Motorists traveling east on Highway 5 should take Laketown Parkway (Highway 92) north, then travel east on Highway 7 and turn right (south) onto County Road 11. People traveling west on Highway 5 should take the detour north on Rolling Acres Road (Highway 13), then head west on Highway 7 and go left (south) onto County Road 11. View a map of the detour routes.
All park features will be open normal hours and can be accessed from County Road 11.
The project is a partnership among the City of Victoria, Carver County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation and is part of the city’s Downtown West Improvement Project. Learn more about the project.

Trail Conditions
Due to the sensitive nature of the trails and our sustainability efforts, mountain bike trails are occasionally closed due to wet conditions.
Before you head out, check trail conditions on our Mountain Biking page. You may also call Carver Park Reserve at 763-694-7650 or check the Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists website.
Winter Trail Use
Help us protect groomed mountain bike trails in the winter. Overinflating tires, riding in warm temperatures and wearing boots can leave tracks that damage groomed trails. Here are few ways you can help:
- Reduce your tire pressure.
- Ride when temperatures are below freezing.
- Wear snowshoes when hiking on singletrack trails.
In Partnership
This trail was developed and built in partnership with the One Track Mind Foundation.
