Take to the Trails Bike Edina
Edina is a very bike-friendly community with shared bicycle and automobile lanes throughout the city. If you want a longer ride, head to the Nine Mile Creek. Just completed in 2018, the new paved 15 mile trail travels through neighboring cities and over brand new boardwalks and wooden trail bridges to view the area’s wetlands and woodlands as well as the trail’s namesake creek. Open to bikers, pedestrians and skaters, the trail is the perfect way for visitors to explore the area. Winter visitors can explore via bike, skis or walking shoes.
