West Mississippi River Regional Trail
West Mississippi River Regional Trail links the communities of North Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. The trail will eventually extend north through Champlin and Dayton, giving users several touch points along the Mississippi River. It will eventually connect to Medicine Lake Regional Trail as well as the Crow River and Wright County.

Trail closure
This summer, Centerpoint Energy is installing new gas lines under the Mississippi River near the West Mississippi River Regional Trail in Brooklyn Center. Beginning in late June, the regional trail will be closed from 70th Avenue N. in Brooklyn Park to the northern edge of North Mississippi Regional Park to allow for the gas line work to take place. View a map of the affected area. Trail users will be unable to access the Interstate 694 underpass north of the park. Due to the limited number of nearby streets because of the close proximity of the river and highways, there is not a trail or pedestrian detour available during the closure. Visit Centerpoint Energy's website to learn more about the project.

Things To Do
If you’re looking for your own adventure, give mountain biking a try in Three Rivers. There are designated mountain bike trails at Carver, Elm Creek, Lake Rebecca and Murphy-Hanrehan parks and other paved bike/hike trails of varying terrain and difficulty for mountain bikers of any skill level.
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.
