The Midtown Greenway, a 5.5-mile former railroad corridor in south Minneapolis, features dedicated biking and walking trails. Owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority and maintained by the City of Minneapolis, the Greenway came to be from advocacy by the Midtown Greenway Coalition. The Midtown Greenway runs separated from the street, either in a gorge or on a levee, allowing for efficient, barrier-free riding. It connects west to paths around the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes and the Southwest LRT Trail, and east to paths along the Mississippi River. This path is accessible 24/7, with trails plowed in winter and well-lit at night.

Cedar Lake

Highlight • Lake

Cedar Lake is a lake with a long history. Over two centuries, Cedar Lake has undergone significant transformations in shape, size, and land use; it has evolved from industrial wasteland to modern parks. Despite being part of the city's park system, Cedar Lake is less frequented than its counterparts. Tucked between neighborhoods, it is bordered by the Grand Rounds on its south and west shores. The southeast shore features a thin strip of park land. Former railroad right-of-way along the lake now serves as world-class bike and nature trails, with ongoing repurposing into a light rail transit corridor.
